"Super service"

About: WestMARC (West of Scotland Mobility and Rehabilitation Centre)

(as a relative),

My husband is a wheelchair user, last week WestMARC gave us two new tyres for his chair. One wheel had broken, the rim used for pushing the chair along had been damaged and we had tried to fix it, however when we phoned WestMARC and explained the problem they came out to fix it almost immediately.

Whilst the engineer was there we asked about possibly getting a larger chair as the arms were digging into my husband's sides. He had a look at what was digging in and where and saw that it wasn't the size of the chair that was a problem but the way the arm rests had been put on. Once he changed that it  immediately became a far more comfortable chair. 

It's the same when we go to WestMARC, it's a very friendly place, all the people who work there from the small cafe to the physiotherapists they are all so keen to help in anyway they can. Another great thing is that they never rush you.

Dear polarisnx35,

Thank you so much for posting your feedback on Care Opinion.

I am delighted to read your comments about how the team have exceeded your expectations in terms of speed of repairs and time spent to look at the issues that your husband is having and I am so glad that we were able to resolve them on the day.

One of the things we pride ourselves on is our ability to support the repairs in a timely way without compromising the Patient centred approach to delivering our clinical service.

I will make sure that I pass on your comments to all the teams.

Kind Regards

Heather Richardson
