The Gorge Road Hospital in Victora, BC has developed a resource guide
>for new amputees, called ‘the Passport to Independence’.
>>
>The Amputee Clinic team, in conjunction with the local prosthetists and the
>Vancouver Island Amputee Society maintain the manual.
>>
>It outlines some stump care issues, some rehab exercises, gives contacts and
>sources for government programs, and identifies non-government groups who
>provide information or services to amputees.
>>
>You may wish to contact the Gorge Road Hospital directly, or if you like I
>can do that for you. I will be attending the amputee clinic in 2 weeks.
>>
>It would need some amendments, as it is oriented towards British Columbia
>programs and services, but some of the sources would be relevant and the
>content/design may give you ideas on how to develop yours.
