Wheelchair service

The team works with children and young people who have mobility or postural challenges to support them to:

• Access their home environment
• Access their education environment
• Minimise their mobility or postural challenges

Wiltshire Wheelchair Service is located at Melksham Community Hospital and provides services to all children and young people registered with a Wiltshire GP.

The service can be accessed following a referral from a health care professional. We receive referrals from a number of health care professionals, including GPs, Occupational Therapist and specialist consultants.

The service is provided to people of any age who are registered with a Wiltshire GP, so there is no transition and no barrier in terms of age.

There is a national agreement with Wheelchair Services across England. This means young people can take their existing equipment with them and their new service will take responsibility for maintaining and repairing it.
