Hi all,

This is just a gripe about the SWEP program in Australia.
I have lately been filling out several SWEP forms with the aim of getting some patients of mine funding for shoes. It seems like this is a lot of work needed to be done by podiatrists for precious little/no financial remuneration.
From my viewpoint the only people who gain from this is the orthotist/ shoe store/medical grade footwear specialist. And of course the patient. Filling out the forms takes hours. Not to mention chasing GPs to fillo out their form.
Am I being greedy here by expecting something back for the time it takes with SWEP.
I realise with orthoses we can have more control and do get something back.
I'm interested to find out what other podiatrists do. Do some provide shoes as well for patients and thereby bypassing other professionals?
Thanks
