Our CHEO Emily attended a wheelchair skills workshop aimed at children aged 2yrs to 17yrs in Fareham in September. The Charity Go-Kids-Go travel around the country to deliver vital wheelchair skills workshops to children and their families. 

Our CHEO Emily, reached out to Evenbreak in August, and managed to secure a networking meeting to meet with Josh (candidates and partnerships coordinator) who gave us an insight into the work that Evenbreak do, and the ways in which they help support people with disabilities get back into work, find inclusive employers and progress with their careers.

Our Community Health Engagement Officer, Emily, chairs a 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.

Emily, the Community Health Engagement Officer (CHEO) for Hampshire & Isle of Wight NHS Wheelchair Service, reached out to Hampshire RoamAbility via their facebook page to enquire further about their rambles and what they can provide for wheelchair users. 

We are currently asking our service users to return any unused NHS wheelchairs back to our service. This is in line with our recycle campaign. Our aim is to be as green as we can, and one way in which we can do this is through recycling unused wheelchair parts.

Hello, my name’s Emily Galton and I am the Community Health and Engagement Officer (CHEO) for the West Hampshire, Southampton and Isle of Wight Wheelchair and Repair Service.
