Wheelchair & Specialist Seating
Our Wheelchair and Specialist Seating Service works with you and your family to assess and prescribe the right wheelchair for you. This can be a simple attendant wheelchair to allow you to get out and about, a self-propelling wheelchair or powered wheelchair to maintain an active lifestyle or more complex seating systems to maintain your posture as well as your mobility. We are here to make sure you get the right fit for you and support you to live the life you choose.
Our Wheelchair & Specialist Seating Team is a mix of physiotherapists, occupational therapists and technicians supported by our Customer Service Team. We also work closely with specialist rehabilitation and technical engineers to support assessments and provision of equipment.
What do we do?
We offer assessments for wheelchairs and associated specialist seating equipment for Newham residents of all ages.
Who can receive a wheelchair?
We provide assessments for people who have a permanent disability or medical condition that significantly affects their ability to walk. To be eligible for an assessment you must be registered with a GP in the Borough.
