Wheelchairs
In Camden, wheelchairs are provided by the NHS Camden and Islington Wheelchair Service. If you have a long term physical disability that limits your mobility and you think you would benefit from having a wheelchair then please speak to your GP who can make a referral. Physiotherapists, community nurses and therapy assistants can also make a referral for you.
If you are known to Adult Social Care then they can also refer you to the wheelchair service.
Contact Adult Social Care Access and Response Team to be referred to the wheelchair service if you are known to Adult Social Care

Manual and powered wheelchair loans from the NHS are assessed by an Occupational Therapist. If you wish, you can contact the wheelchair service directly for more information (e.g. for advice, or for a review). Note that they will not provide a wheelchair unless you are already known to them, or unless they have received a referral from a health and social care professional.
