How do i get a free wheel chair?

Question

Answer 1

The NHS (National Health Service) Wheelchair Service has a program that provides free wheel chairs both to those who require full-time use of a wheel chair, and to those who require occasional wheel chair use (which I assume describes your current situation).



To qualify, a doctor, physiotherapist or someone from social services must give you a referral for your local NHS Wheelchair Service. Once the Service receives the referral, they will set up an appointment (usually within 2-3 weeks) for you to be assessed by an occupational therapist or other qualified expert. The therapist will determine if you require a wheel chair, and will recommend the type of wheel chair best suited to your needs. Delivery of the wheel chair will then take between 2-6 weeks (depending on the type of wheel chair recommended). In addition, the NHS Wheelchair Service will maintain and repair the wheel chair for you.



Of course, a financial assessment will be undertaken by the NHS to determine if you qualify for a fully subsidized (100% free) wheel chair, or a partially subsidized wheel chair.



I'd suggest contacting your doctor or your local NHS Wheelchair Service for more information.

this is a question for a properly-being practitioner first. if in case you have untimely Ventricular Contractions (%.), which do no longer call for a wheel chair. simply by fact the source says, "untimely ventricular contractions are very individual-friendly — they happen in optimal people in some unspecified time faster or later. " I even have had them countless circumstances, each and each bout lasting some months. No huge deal.

Answer 3

That's a question for a physician first. You probably have Premature Ventricular Contractions (PVCs), which don't call for a wheel chair. As the source says, "Premature ventricular contractions are very common — they occur in most people at some point. " I have had them several times, each bout lasting a few months. No big deal.

Answer 4

All wheelchairs are free on the NHS to those who actually need them.

See your GP and he'll determine whether you have a real medical need or are just a lazy b*sr*rd....

I don't know, but talk to your local red cross, they hire out wheelchairs and may be able to advise you.

populations? or palpitations? one has to do with heart contractions

you are in UK--see your GP-- he undoubtedly has done EKG on you if you have palpitations--if so you are qualified if you cannot walk
