How it can help
The Wheelchair Service supply Manual Wheelchairs, Indoor Powered Wheelchairs, Indoor/Outdoor Powered Wheelchairs, Buggies and Pressure care cushions.
Clinics are held at our base in Bishop’s Stortford where we have access to support from our skilled Technicians, a workshop and a range of assessment equipment for mobility and postural support needs.
We also provide a Specialist Seating Service for bespoke seating for the wheelchair in partnership with a contractor. This is for clients with more complex postural management needs.
Where appropriate we operate a Personal Wheelchair Budget (PWB) system which offers increased choice for our clients.
