Urgently in need of a wheelchair

Princepeniel

Good morning all,
I am an international student with mobility impairment. I live in the North East England.
I urgently need suggestions about how to buy a wheelchair preferably an electrically powered wheelchair and at what price?

Thank you

Hi @Princepeniel, Scope have an advice page on how to get a wheelchair, it covers both manual and electronic wheelchairs. How to get a wheelchair | Disability charity Scope UK

I hope the above page helps, it gives links to places that compare wheelchairs as well. If you are an international student for over 6 months and have paid the immigration health surcharge (IHS) you should be covered for NHS services but I would double check this with your local NHS trust.

Hi @Jimm. Thank you for the prompt response. I have discussed with my GP unfortunately they could not help. 
I will go through the link and see if I could get some help.

Thank you!
