Our Liverpool Community Equipment Service has launched a new feature which is now available on TCES, allowing prescribers to select a short term loan. This option should be selected for those patients with short term equipment needs and could include post-surgery aids such as walking frames, perching tools and raised toilet seats.
The equipment will be on loan for a period of three months at a time. The equipment service will contact patients towards the end of the three month period to ask if they still require the equipment. The loan period will be extended if required. A collection order will be raised if they confirm this is no longer needed.
Use of short term loan equipment will support us in the effective collection and re-issue of stock to more patients. For additional information, please refer to the TCES document library, this can be accessed via the homepage on TCES.
