- Description
-
The Wheelchair Service provides the framework to clinically assess, and then provide appropriate wheelchairs with associated equipment to clients with long-term mobility needs. Once provision is established, the Wheelchair Service supports the equipment provided and continues to review the clients` needs.
Equipment provided includes; manual wheelchairs, indoor powered wheelchairs, indoor/outdoor wheelchairs, buggies and pressure care cushions for wheelchairs.
Clients are offered a choice of Personal Wheelchair Budget as part of the intervention process.
Clients with more complex needs may be referred to special seating, or have specialist seating company assessing/supplying equipment.
We are working in partnership with Whizzkids charity for the provision of children's wheelchairs for those up to the age of 26 years.
