New Guidance - final checks are now being carried out on the final version of the Equipment and Adaptations Guidance. The guidance will be published shortly.
A Good Practice Guide for Community Equipment Services has just been published. This guide has been developed to complement the new guidance and support local equipment services effectively develop, deliver, manage and monitor the provision of equipment from the point of assessment through to delivery, and the conclusion of the assessment process.
It can be used as a 'checklist' against which organisations can benchmark and evaluate their equipment service, irrespective of the type of model adopted. It will identify common and key components that should apply to all equipment services and assist in a systematic approach to service development and delivery accross all areas of Scotland.
