No knowledge of London hospitals (and no direct experience of talipes, but know a little as my friend's DD has bilateral talipes)... do they both do ponsetti method? is one massively easier for you to travel to than the other for appointments? you might find people who have experience of both hospitals on the steps forum.

My unborn baby has also been diagnosed with Talipes and I have been recommended Alison Hulme at the Chelsea and Westminster - she specialises in the Ponsetti method.

Do you mean the Royal National Orthopaedic Hospital, at Stanmore?
Miss Eastwood is very good.

Message
Emphasis: To bold a word, surround it with asterisks, so *hello* will display hello. For underline use _ , so _hello_ gives hello. For italics use ^, so ^hello^ gives hello. To strike out a word, surround it with two hyphens either side, so --dog-- gives dog

Links and smileys: To insert a smiley face, , type [smile] or :)
For a big grin, , type [grin] or :o
For a wink, , type [wink]

Links The simplest way to insert a link is to enter the link itself, surrounded by [[ and ]]. So if you type [[www.mumsnet.com]], the link will display as http://www.mumsnet.com. If you want your link to display text other than the web address itself, leave a space after the address then add the text before the ]]. So "Look at [[www.mumsnet.com this page]]", would display "Look at this page".
