Danny van der Merwe - Senior Prosthetist

Danny van der Merwe is an HCPC Registered Senior Prosthetist who manages the prosthetic care of clients who attend the London Prosthetics Centre from across the UK and all over the world. Danny specialises in upper and lower limb prosthetics with a keen interest in high-end microprocessor lower limbs and myoelectric upper limbs. 

Born and trained in South Africa, Danny completed his dual qualification as a Medical Orthotist Prosthetist in 2013. His primary interest and experience lie in prosthetics, particularly pediatric, multi-limb loss, and sports prosthetics. Additionally, he focuses on advanced microprocessor knees and myoelectric upper limb prosthetics.

"I enjoy getting to know and understand my clients and their specific roles, needs and activities to ensure each one is considered holistically when planning for their prostheses. Seeing a client mobilising pain-free and independently, often after years of being restricted, brings me great joy. Taking the time to listen and respect the input from the client plays a big role in my treatment." 

Outside of work, Danny enjoys being with family - happily married and a proud dog-father of two Scottish Terriers. He enjoys cooking, being outdoors with the dogs, travelling and experiencing what London has to offer. He says being part of the dynamic LPC team is only a pleasure!
