To make a referral:
Anyone can make a referral to request a wheelchair assessment. You can:
- phone the Adult Social Care Centre on 0161 206 0604
- Email salford.socialservices@nca.nhs.uk
When making a referral we need to know what the wheelchair is required for. It is also helpful to know your height, weight and diagnosis as this may help us deal more quickly with your request.
There is no age restriction to access the service, however wheelchairs or buggies will not be provided for babies and very young children when their posture and mobility needs can be met by commercially available buggies.
