Assessing Transport for Wheelchair Occupants

A workshop for occupational therapists and healthcare professionals, designed to guide the process of identifying and procuring safe, inclusive and comfortable transport solutions for wheelchair users. You’ll be introduced to key details you should look for when assessing mobility needs, get insight into what factors influence comfort, inclusion, and safety when travelling, and gain an understanding of the funding options and exemptions available and key considerations when building cost reports. This workshop includes practical demonstrations including how to carry out transport needs assessments, the correct use of WTORS (restraint systems), and how to identify safety-tested devices in line with legislation.
