Are you a wheelchair user, carer, or family member of a wheelchair user? Would you like to help shape better services?

Our Community Health Engagement Officer (CHEO), Emily, chairs a quarterly service user engagement and improvement board meeting for service users, their relatives and carers, stakeholders, external professionals and organisations and anyone in the wider community who has an interest in the local NHS wheelchair and repair service.

We are pleased to display our new feedback posters in both our Hampshire and Isle of Wight service centres, with a QR code option, as well as options to provide feedback via our website, WhatsApp, telephone, email and in person or by writing to us with our full postal address displayed. We are pleased to offer various channels to provide your feedback, allowing for inclusivity and accessibility for all. These posters were co-designed with service users who attend the Ross Care wheelchair service user forum in Hampshire and Isle of Wight. A big thank you to those who took part and helped us to provide new feedback posters to all wheelchair users, relatives, carers and professionals who visit our service.

Are you a young person aged 18 – 25yrs and a wheelchair user? Do you know someone who is, and would be interested in sharing feedback? Tell us about your recent experience of Ross Care NHS Wheelchair & Repairs service in West Hampshire, Southampton & Isle of Wight!
