Wheelchair Outcomes Assessment Tools
We utilise the Wheelchair Outcomes Assessment Tools (WATCh and WATCh-Ad), a patient-centred outcome measure developed by the Centre for Health Economics and Medicines Evaluation (CHEME). The WATCh tools allow wheelchair users to select the most important outcomes and give an example of what they hope to achieve for each one.
If you are new to the Wheelchair Service and meet the eligibility criteria, you will be sent a WATCh Health and Wellbeing Outcomes form to complete before your appointment.
During your assessment, our wheelchair therapists will help you identify your health and wellbeing goals and desired outcomes. We will co-design a care plan that supports these outcomes and any wider care plans you have, discuss your equipment options with you, and explain what a PWB is and how it can help meet your needs.
