Leading the way in Orthotics services
At Peacocks, we are dedicated to becoming the foremost orthotics provider in the nation. For over a century, we have been supplying medical equipment and provisions to customers throughout the UK. Today, our company combines decades of expertise with a stellar reputation for customer care, quality, and innovation.
Our mission is to empower patients to move with greater freedom and comfort. From diagnosis to delivery, we ensure that they receive the support they require precisely when they need it. Additionally, our deep insight and proficiency make us the perfect ally for customers seeking to offer an outstanding yet sustainable service.
Our service initiatives commence in hospitals and healthcare facilities across the UK, where our team of orthotists evaluates both private and NHS patients.
A cost-saving solution for improved health
Orthotic care is not only about providing patients with independence and comfort but also about generating significant cost savings in the long run. Peacocks is poised to develop a service that benefits both patients and customers immensely.
Despite being labeled as a "secondary service," orthotics holds tremendous untapped potential. According to the Centre for Economics and Business Research, transitioning orthotics services from secondary to primary care could yield savings of approximately £48 million. Furthermore, neglecting to offer this treatment to patients could cost the NHS around £390 million annually, as it deals with the exacerbation of related conditions.
For every £1 invested in timely orthotics services, the NHS could save £4 in future treatment and care costs. Reliable supports and products provided by Peacocks enable older individuals to preserve their independence and mobility, reducing the incidence of fall-related injuries.
With obesity levels projected to reach 47% for males and 35% for females by 2025, appropriate insoles and footwear play a crucial role in alleviating pain and preventing conditions like arthritis. Considering the 3.8 million people in the UK affected by diabetes, which accounted for £23.7 billion or 10% of total NHS expenditure in 2010/11, £985.6 million was spent on foot ulcer and amputation costs alone.
By integrating orthotics more effectively, costs could be halved, with re-ulceration rates dropping from 79% to 15% and amputation rates from 54% to 6%. Peacocks stands ready to assist customers in seizing this opportunity. Leveraging our reputation for flexibility, innovation, and expertise, we can collaborate to deliver services that address the needs of local patients and align with local budgets.
Custom Orthotics solutions for enhanced patient well-being
Our customers encounter diverse challenges, so we provide them with a dedicated account team to assist in designing the appropriate models and tariffs for their local patients. We've introduced numerous innovative ideas to help customers achieve their objectives, ranging from various commissioning models to alternative funding and budgeting approaches.
Our patients seek more than just a clinical solution; they desire an improvement in their overall well-being. According to a survey by NICE, only 1 in 10 respondents were satisfied with the available selection of shoes, while 9 out of 10 felt compelled to alter their clothing to accommodate or conceal their prescribed footwear. Many opted not to wear them altogether, exacerbating their issues, with 72% admitting to simply hoping for recovery.
At Peacocks, our skilled and inventive manufacturing team goes beyond merely delivering shoes and products on schedule; they create stylish, high-quality offerings. Our Options range continually expands to offer fashionable styles, including lace-up shoes, children's footwear, and running trainers. Furthermore, we invest in cutting-edge technologies such as 3D printing to provide an even more precise fit and superior product quality.
We prioritise listening at Peacocks. Collaborating with us enables you to deliver an orthotics service tailored to your exact requirements, achieving savings, providing treatments, and addressing conditions before more expensive and invasive interventions become necessary.
