If you have a long-term need for a wheelchair, you should discuss this with your GP as they may be able to refer you to the NHS Wheelchair service. Shopmobility is a service that helps all people who consider themselves to have mobility problems (whether through disability, illness or injury) to continue to get around city and town centres independently.
