Referrals and Assessments

You can self-refer into the service, or be referred by a qualified healthcare professional, who will send you a letter or call you to let you know you are eligible for a wheelchair assessment.

Click here to view or download the Core Eligibility Criteria. This criteria was last reviewed in November 2024. 

A wheelchair assessment establishes your clinical needs and a prescription is made for the right wheelchair for you.

Your assessment will take place at one of our wheelchair clinics in Harrow, Park Royal, Wembley, or at St. Charles Hospital in West London or another appropriate location, i.e. school or health care setting.  Home assessments can be undertaken only in certain circumstances.  This will be agreed after triage by the clinical team. 

When we call you to arrange your assessment appointment, you’ll be given a choice of location and time slot. In addition to our main Park Royal clinic, we also hold clinics at the following addresses:
