Parklane Plowden visited Proactive Prosthetics in Leeds

Parklane Plowden was delighted to arrange a specialist networking and insight event at Proactive Prosthetics in Leeds, bringing together leading solicitors working in the fields of personal injury and clinical negligence. 

Guests joined Parklane Plowden at Proactive Prosthetics in Leeds for an evening focused on rehabilitation, prosthetics and client outcomes.

The event provided an opportunity for legal professionals to see first-hand the expertise, technology, and multidisciplinary care involved in modern prosthetic and orthotic rehabilitation. The event included a presentation and tour led by expert prosthetists Jamie Gillepsie and Asad Khan.  Guests were able to hear about and discuss the practical realities faced by injured clients, the importance of early and effective rehabilitation, and the way in which high-quality expert input can support recovery, independence, and long-term outcomes. The event offered a valuable reminder that successful case preparation is not only about legal analysis, but also about understanding the client’s rehabilitation journey.
