Devon County Council and our NHS partners are inviting people to return their no longer needed equipment, throughout June.
Community equipment is a term used to describe the range of equipment that people use at home to make their life a little easier. It includes, for example, items such as walking frames, or raised toilet seats.
It also includes some larger, more specialist items of equipment, often fitted into a person’s home by a healthcare professional, such as bedrails or bed levers.
Right now, they would particularly like people to return no longer used bedrails or bed leavers that were previously prescribed to them, or a family member or friend.
If you have community equipment from the NHS or adult social care that is no longer needed, please return them so that they can be re-used by someone else who needs them.
Returning bedrails, bed levers and other larger items, is easy. Millbrook Healthcare will collect them from you.
Otherwise, you can return equipment to community hospitals, recycling centres or by dropping them off at Millbrook Healthcare’s depot at Jacks Way, Hill Barton Park, Clyst St Mary. EX5 1FG.
To arrange a collection from Millbrook Healthcare, please telephone: 0330 124 4491 or email devoncontactus@millbrookhealthcare.co.uk
