We are a team of wheelchair therapists including nurses and qualified allied health professionals such as occupational therapists, physiotherapists and rehabilitation engineers, supported by specialist technicians and administrators.
We provide wheelchair and specialist seating provision for children, young people and adults. The aim of our service is to maximise mobility, independence and quality of life for our service users and carers.
The maintenance and repair of your wheelchair will be provided by our approved repair service, AJM Mobility. Their contact details can be found below.
To ensure we provide you with the best and most efficient service, you may meet several different members of our staff. Our team work in different formations tailored to your needs.
At your initial appointment we'll undertake a holistic assessment of the current and future needs of you and your carer. The assessment will take into account your clinical, employment, education, housing, leisure needs and environmental constraints (where appropriate).
When your episode of care with us is complete, you will be discharged from our service, with appropriate onward referral and/or aftercare advice. We may schedule a review period and if further needs arise you are welcome to get in touch with us.
Subject to meeting our eligibility criteria, we will supply a wheelchair to anyone who has a long-term mobility need (this is defined as 6 months or over) and has a GP in West Sussex or Brighton and Hove.
We operate an open referral system and accept referrals from GPs and other health care professionals.
All clients who meet our eligibility criteria will be offered provision of a Personal Wheelchair Budget for wheelchairs and buggies (where appropriate).
The pathway for children requiring specialist seating is via Chailey’s Clinical Services posture clinic.
Our assessments are provided in a clinical, educational, home or work setting depending on your specific needs.
