Wheelchair service training

A badly fitted wheelchair can do more harm than good

One size doesn’t fit all – we’re passionate about getting it right

Training wheelchair service providers to prescribe and fit each wheelchair to the individual is an important part of our approach. We’ve worked with the World Health Organization (WHO) to develop training packages for this very purpose.

We now deliver this training to organisations around the globe, as well as providing support and mentoring for wheelchair services. Together, we are driving standards up and making sure more people get the right wheelchair - in the right way.

Making a wheelchair fit somebody properly isn’t always straightforward.

It can often mean making modifications to the width or backrest of the wheelchair, or even cutting the seat cushion to fit the person’s body shape. That’s why, alongside the WHO training courses, we also provide technical support to wheelchair services.

If you would like more information about our training courses for wheelchair services providers, please contact us on 0117 966 0398 or [email protected]
