Checking your referral
Once we receive your referral, it will be checked by a wheelchair therapist to make sure you are eligible for the service. We will contact you at this stage. The therapist will categorise your case based on your clinical need to make sure you are assessed by a member of the wheelchair team with a set of skills to complete the right assessment for you.
