NHS Approved Repairers
For over 25 years, AJ Mobility has worked in partnership with numerous NHS Trusts as an Approved Repairer.
Our experienced engineers are responsible for the delivery, collection, repair, servicing and reconditioning of thousands of wheelchairs.
As NHS Approved Repairers, we are able to offer a first class service where our trained assessors are available to support OTs at clinics and home visits.
NHS voucher Scheme
The NHS has introduced a voucher scheme in order to offer patients a wider choice of wheelchairs.
The voucher represents the value of an NHS wheelchair as it is prescribed by the service therapist and that value can be supplemented by the patient should they wish to upgrade their wheelchair.
Wheelchairs provided under this scheme must be brand new and meet the assessed mobility needs of the patient. Vouchers typically last for a 5 year period but this may be reduced to a shorter length of time where appropriate.
There are two versions of the scheme available, either the "Partnership" or "Independent" option.
The "Partnership Option" means that the individual receives an amount of money that is intended to cover the cost of the chair only. This gives the opportunity to upgrade within the standard range of wheelchairs provided by your NHS authority. There is likely to be additional cost to the user and the NHS authority retains ownership of the chair and is responsible for all repairs and maintenance.
The "Independent Option" means that the individual receives an amount of money that is intended to cover the cost of the chair and its maintenance and repair. This requires that the individual takes full ownership and has responsibility for the repair and maintenance of the equipment for the full term of the voucher.
AJ Mobility can also offer Servicing for "Independent Option" customers, whether you purchased the chair through us or not. Our servicing is fully compliant to NHS standards
