Assistive technology industry unites to back DLF's plan
Leading companies in the Assistive Technology (AT) industry have come together to support the Disabled Living Foundation's plan to develop a free, impartial web-based advice and information portal on AT. The DLF's initiative to release all its data onto the internet for public use began with the launch of 'Bathing made easy' (www.bathingmadeeasy.com), the personal care section of its database. ARJO, Mangar International Ltd, Kingkraft Ltd and Mountway Ltd have joined Nottingham Rehab Supplies as major sponsors of 'Bathing made easy'. In addition, the Tunstall Group has joined forces with the DLF to create a new section called 'Telecare made easy', which will be launched in 2008. The value of DLF's initiative has been recognised by the Department of Health as support to its Transforming Community Equipment and Wheelchair Services plan (TCEWS). Nicole Penn-Symons, DLF's Chief Executive, says "We are delighted that the leading players in the industry and Government recognise the importance of DLF's advice and information and we look forward to working with them, and others, in the future."
