Hi Robin, That seems very fair - no one is losing out and you are providing an additional service for your pts at no extra cost to them. Congrats on your BSc BTW

Hi All And I had no insider information BUT.. (Borrowed from the Arena) __________________ Now how many of us have been marketing Vasyli's for years and have many patients wearing them. What are we now to do when they need replacement? Send them to Scholl's perhaps It will be very interesting to see how much they are charging for them but one thing I think is VERY likely is the press campaign on where to get you orthotics in future and I bet it ain't from us Cheers Derek

Hi All Cheers Robin ;D Being the cynic I am and with the Vasyli takeover by Scholls , it has occurred to me that many Physiotherapists use Vasyli's as a routine . Was a certain one of their number on National radio a couple of weeks ago advocating the public should get their orthotics from the Chemist ?? Now call me old fashioned but...... Cheers Derek

Hi All
I think we should thank Hans for his polite response to the postings on this website. I must say that in the past having posted on a site about a vacuum autoclave and whether to buy one. I was contacted by a member of Canonbury and actually talked out of purchasing one as I was advised that I should wait before buying due to the expense of running vacuum autoclaves. An unscrupious company may have sold me one without giving it a second thought. Bearing in mind the cost of such an item I thought that was very professional of them. They will continue to have my support.
The staff are alsways happy to assist in any way they can.
Very Professional
Regards
Gillian

Hi All With the Vasyli takeover ( above) is Canonbury still marketing Vasyli's ?? Perhaps Hans would like to comment ? Perhaps we have to buy elsewhere ? Nuisance I know but when companies move out of their accepted roll everything gets complicated. A thought springs to mind , several years ago the American company that brought out " Footmans" ( name escapes me ) tried to start a "one stop foot shop" chain which was stopped by ( the then powerful) SCP Perhaps Scholls have got in front of canonbury on this one ? Makes me wonder where WE stand in all this ?? However polite and nice these companies are THEY ARE TAKING AWAY YOUR LIVING !! Don't fall for it we still have power "collectively" USE ITJust my thoughts cheers Derek
