Surplus medical equipment and wheelchairs

If you are having a house clear out and come across a wheelchair or other medical equipment which is labelled ‘Property of Holbrook / Shotley Surgery', please return it without delay to your local surgery.

If you have an unused NHS wheelchair (but it is not the property of the local surgery), please contact the Wheelchair Service on 01473 692727.

If, however, you come across crutches, walking aids, commodes, frames or hoists that are NHS property, please contact the Central Equipment Stores (01473 274804) and arrange for collection.

Unfortunately we can not accept them at the doctors surgery as we have no space for even short term storage.

With regret, we cannot accept donations of privately owned surplus equipment and suggest you contact The Red Cross on 01284 767 215. They are happy to take, and find good uses for, wheelchairs and other items.
