Recensioner i media

Key Skills for Wheelchair Provision provides an excellent and comprehensive primer on the landscape of wheelchair provision in England as well as walking the reader through the range of skills and knowledge that are required to support wheelchair users and their equipment to achieve the best outcomes for them. It draws in expertise from a range of knowledgeable practitioners and users, and the pace and structure of information presentation allows for readers to build up their understanding of each topic from the fundamentals, or to quickly dive into more advanced or specific elements of each area depending on their existing level of competence. Key Skills for Wheelchair Provision can be considered an important reference work for both practitioners and wheelchair users whether they are new to the field or looking to reassure themselves of their practice, and I have no hesitation in recommending it.
