Healthwatch Shropshire runs a series of ‘Hot Topics’ through the year where they focus on gathering experiences of a particular area of health and social care.
During February and March they are focusing on equipment services and assistive technology. Healthwatch Shropshire have asked us at Shropshire Disability Network to encourage any of you who might have experiences around NHS and Social Care provision of equipment and aids to tell us about them about your experiences of the service.
This could include:
- how people discover what is available
- how the assessment process was handled
- receiving the aids
- returning equipment if it is no longer required or needs exchanging.
Your responses will be treated confidentially and your experiences will be fed back collectively to service providers and those who commission the services. Any experiences received are passed on anonymously.
