TAGS - The Amputees Group Sunderland

T.A.G.S (The Amputees Group Sunderland). was formed in 2002 by a small group of lower limb amputees in co-ordination with nursing staff from the Sunderland Royal Hospital. The name T.A.G.S. originated from the initials of The Amputee Group Sunderland. The group felt that the trauma of having an amputation required added support from patients who had already experienced this trauma and had overcome their disability, learned to walk again and many have found that they can still live their lives to the full
