Hi all, I am looking for training materials that cover the safe use of wheelchairs in our Atrium Welcome volunteer role. Can anyone point me in the right direction or share any resources?

Many thanks,

George

Hi George!

I have also just started to look for training and materials for wheelchair use too so would be interested in anything that is shared with you.

Hi George,

I remembered we had a forum thread a while ago on this topic - the link to the page and the forum thread is here and it includes an example of some best practice guidelines for volunteers, kindly provided by @Jane Goldsmith at Dudley Group Hospitals.

I will keep an eye out for other examples.

All the best

Sally
