PowerChair Survey RICA

    Calling all powered wheelchair users – have your say.

    A national survey for powered wheelchair users and carers now gives people a chance to tell about their experiences of obtaining and using their powered wheelchair.

    The survey is aimed at wheelchair users living in the UK – including both adults and children – and is being conducted by Rica in partnership with the following charities:

    ·         Disability Rights UK

    ·         Muscular Dystrophy Campaign

    ·         Scope

    ·         Spinal Injuries Association

    ·         Whizz-Kidz

    Powered wheelchair users and carers can tell about their experiences of:

    • getting information and advice on choosing a powered wheelchair
    • the assessment process
    • funding for a powered wheelchair
    • maintenance and after-sales service
    • any barriers experienced

    The aim of the survey is to identify user priorities for future research work.

    With a chance to win £50 in shopping vouchers, people can complete the survey here: www.rica.org.uk/PWsurvey

    People can also request a print copy from us:
