The Community Wheelchair Service provides assessments, equipment, and ongoing support for children and adults in Bexley, Bromley and Greenwich who require wheelchairs for mobility and independence.

We are reviewing how the service is currently working and what could be improved. Since November we have been listening to local people through survey and focus groups about their experience. To ensure that we are hearing from wheelchair users, families, carers we have extended the survey and we are holding an additional focus group on 30 January, 10 – 11.30am to give people the opportunity to be involved and share their views.

How can you get involved

We are also looking for two people from Bexley, Bromley, Greenwich, to join Wheelchair Service Programme Steering Group. The group aim is to oversee and provide strategic direction for the design, engagement and procurement of a consistent, equitable wheelchair service across Bexley, Bromley, Greenwich. The group will guide the project to ensure alignment with local and regional priorities, support better patient outcomes and promote collaborative working across all boroughs.

The role of the members with lived experience is to reflect on their experience of using and accessing the service to inform discussions and support the improvement outcome and help design further engagement.
