Returning Disability Equipment to the NHS or Social Services
If your equipment was supplied by the NHS, local council, or social services, the first step is to ask if they will take it back. Returning equipment helps reduce waste and ensures others can benefit.
Contact the Supplier
Check with the department, hospital, or service that provided the equipment. They may be able to collect it, or you may need to return it yourself.
Medequip Returns
Medequip works with many NHS trusts and local authorities. You can find return details on the Medequip website.
Occupational Therapist Guidance
Your local occupational therapist can advise on reuse schemes and whether your local authority has a collection service.
