TRAINING COURSES
We continually ensure that our staff have up-to-date training and January has been a particularly busy month for external courses. Some of our technicians attended the Joern’s course to refresh their knowledge on Oxford hoists and L.O.L.E.R regulations. Our Occupational Therapist and another technician attended a Kirton specialist seating course led by the Direct Healthcare Group. And finally one of the admin team attended the trusted advisor training led by the Disabled living foundation.
FEEDBACK
We love hearing feedback from our clients… here’s a tweet we are very proud of;
“Because I think a great company deserves good love, we recently used @LondonDMH to rent a footstool and shower chair etc when my mum had a knee replacement and they’ve been brilliant! Thank you, guys!”
Good or bad, we are always glad to receive any feedback and welcome suggestions for new products you would like to see on the hire fleet. Please feel free to send us an email office@directmobility.co.uk

All of the products we offer on the hire fleet, plus many more, are available to purchase. If you hire a product and then decide to purchase it, we will refund one weeks hire charge from the purchase price, whether it is a new or used item that you purchased. Trying a product before you buy helps to ensure that you purchase a product that is right for you.
We also complete all servicing and repairs in-house so you can rest assured that you will be looked after, long after the purchase is complete.
