A national survey - launched by Rica, the specialist UK consumer research and information charity, gives powered wheelchair users and carers a chance to tell about their experiences of obtaining and using their powered wheelchair.
The survey aimed at wheelchair users living in the UK – including both adults and children – is being conducted in partnership with the following charities:
- Disability Rights UK
- Muscular Dystrophy Campaign
- Scope
- Spinal Injuries Association
- Whizz-Kidz
Powered wheelchair users can tell about their experiences of:
- getting information and advice on choosing a powered wheelchair
- the assessment process
- funding for a powered wheelchair
- maintenance and after-sales service
- any barriers experienced
The aim of the survey is to identify user priorities for future research work.
With a chance to win £50 in shopping vouchers, people can complete the survey here: www.rica.org.uk/PWsurvey or request a print copy from Rica, G03 The Wenlock, 50-52 Wharf Road, London N1 7EU or phone Rica on: 020 7427 2460.
