Hi @carol_w

After an assessment Occupational therapy prescribed my hospital bed. I believe Physiotherapy can also prescribe a Hospital bed.

That is correct - an electrically adjustable bed - called a "profiling" bed - that's what I was given !

Have you applied to OT for an assessment? I have a hospital bed on loan from them.

Welcome to the community @carol_w! As others have said, it may be worth getting an Occupational Therapy assessment to see if they can help you with this. You can usually speak to your GP or medical team to get a referral.

If that's not possible for any reason, you might also like to have a look at Turn2Us' grant search: https://grants-search.turn2us.org.uk/

Hope you can get something sorted soon ☺️
