We are seeing a 20+% year on year increase in sales over the past five years.
And we are seeing a growth in re-issue of the equipment to occupational therapy clients beyond the person for whom the equipment was initially purchased.
The upturn is due, we believe, to growing understanding of the role our stairclimbers can play in managing the risk of falls and reduced mobility on stairs. And the speed with which we can deliver, thereby facilitating hospital discharge whether as a short, medium, or long-term solution.
More equipment out there, and more equipment being used, means more equipment needs to be serviced, and more people need to be trained on its use.
“With thousands of S-Max Sella units already in daily use across the country, many of which have been in use for 10 years or more, we believe we have a duty of care to support our clients so that our stairclimbers/ stairclimbing wheelchairs continue to help people return to or remain in their home and for the S-Max Sella to build on its proven, impeccable safety record,” says Peter Wingrave, AAT Director.
“Alongside that, with the continuing increase in sales, we have growing demand for training. We are training OTs in the role stairclimbers can play in empowering people to remain at home and/or to expediate hospital discharge. We are training the care givers in the safe operation of the equipment. And we’re setting up the equipment to the personal needs of each recipient and their carer(s).
“We’re committed to doing it right, and without delay. The only way we can do that is to expand the team to match demand and spend all the time someone needs to ensure they are comfortable prescribing or using S-Max Sella.”
