The Association’s Practice Skills Database is available as a reference source for AOP members and consists of a list of those members with specialist knowledge, skills, equipment or services. If your patients require any specialist skills or services which you are not able to provide you can contact the Association (details below) to see if we can put you in touch with a member in your area who can provide the services.
Members who use this service must agree between themselves the terms on which any services are to be provided, including the costs of, and payment for, the services.
