In this episode, we have James McQuie, the General Manager of OPC here to talk to us. OPC are one of our proud partners for 2024 and we can’t wait to hear what James has in store for us today.

James joined OPC Health or Orthotic & Prosthetic Centre as it was known, in 1992 as a Sales Consultant. OPC was both an Orthotic/Prosthetic clinic and a distribution business that had been established in 1985.

James remained there until 2000 when he moved to be National Sales Manager for a company based in Sydney, still involved in Allied Health sales. In 2010 the owner of OPC Health approached him to return and so for the past 14 years he has been the GM at OPC. In the last four years they were sold to a German company OPED Ag, who already owned OAPL ( Orthopaedic Appliances) and in 2021 the two entities merged. OAPL is the clinical business with 16 O & P clinics around Australia and OPC is the distribution business with warehouses in Melb, Syd and Adelaide and 25 sales staff nationally. A far cry from the team of two he was part of in 1992.

Welcome to the next episode of MyoMatters. Today we are focusing on all things hygiene, the good, the bad and the ugly. Meet Ibrahim Samaan, the visionary Ahpra-registered physiotherapist behind Purifas — a groundbreaking healthcare company on a mission to reduce the risk of healthcare-associated infections, while simultaneously revolutionising comfort during therapy treatments. We are proud to partner with Purifas for 2024.
