Everyone Welcome

We had a great day on Friday with a wheel through of Glasgow Airport with Paul Scott from Glasgow Airport and Carrie Doherty from @OCS it was very informative and also very interesting to see what is happening at the airport we were helping with the journey through the airport to international departures and looking for any issues which might arise to enable preventative measures so that disabled passengers have an enjoyable experience while travelling through Glasgow Airport

Well done Glasgow Airport for taking the initiative and showing what a forward thinking airport it is.

Thanks to Carrie & Paul for helping with all the ramps

New Side by Side Bikes

Looking forward to seeing the new side by side bikes that have been delivered to Castle Semple Loch. Thanks to the funding we received from awards for all.

VISIT TO FALKIRK SCOTTISH AMBULANCE SERVICE DEPOT

In the middle of June, Renfrewshire Access Panel were invited to assess the latest Patient Transport Ambulances in Falkirk, we received the usual very warm welcome klonopin online from Trevor and his colleagues.

On show were six Ambulances ranging from Peugeot, Mercedes, Fiat each had differences e.g. body sizes, ramps and entrance doors they were designed with safety and comfort of the patients in mind and geographical area where the vehicles were to be based. Every Ambulance was checked by the panel and our comments passed on to Trevor.

After lunch there was discussion on the pros and cons of each vehicle with all groups taking part, we found it very interesting to hear the paramedic’s views on each vehicle some of the comments raised showed us how highly skilled the paramedics are.

We thanked Trevor and his team for the kindness shown to us and looked forward to working with the Ambulance https://bluesci.org.uk/xanax-1mg/ Service in the future we left for home in the afternoon having enjoyed our day immensely.

Today we were working with OCS as part of Disability Awareness Month.  We provided a stand at Glasgow Airport with visual impairment glasses to show some of the many types of visual impairments along with wheelchairs, walking sticks and elbow crutches for people to try out.

To let people understand more about physical disabilities we had bandages to straighten arms and legs to show how difficult it can be to move either with elbow crutches, walking sticks and even using self-propelling wheelchairs.

We would like to thank OCS for the opportunity to provide the information and we would like to thank everyone who took part.

A great day was had by all and we look forward to a long productive working relationship with OCS.

Some photos of the day are below.
