How we can help

Once you have seen a healthcare professional and they have referred you to our service, we'll book an appointment with you to assess your child's needs and give advice around accessories and specialist seating. This will take into consideration the child's disability, lifestyle, environment and safety. We'll aim to see your child within two weeks of referral.

When you come to us, we carry out postural assessments, take measurements and look at the level of mobility and how it is being managed. We then work out the best type of wheelchair to meet your child’s needs. Every wheelchair is unique.

Our clinic area has been designed specifically for disabled patients, including a toilet and hoisting facilities.

Please don't be late to your appointment as we may not be able to see you. If you need to cancel, please call us as soon as possible.
