Case managers
Independent specialist assessment, clear clinical reasoning and coordinated equipment support for people with complex disability or changing long-term needs.
Professional Referrals
Specialist support for professional referrers managing multiple and complex needs
We work with professionals across health, social care, education, case management, and independent practice to support children and adults with multiple and complex posture, seating, positioning, and associated specialist equipment needs.
Our role is to bring clinically grounded reasoning, clear reporting, practical liaison, and ongoing review together so that professional referrers can move forward with greater confidence, clarity, and focus on the outcomes that matter most for the individual.
Why Refer
Why professionals refer to Wheel of Health
Professionals refer to Wheel of Health when multiple and complex posture, seating, positioning, or equipment needs require specialist clinical reasoning, practical knowledge, and collaboration across the wider network supporting the individual.
We help professionals make robust, clinically grounded decisions by combining person-centred assessment, clear reporting, and relevant recommendations that support confidence across both lower-complexity and highly complex cases.

A clear and clinically grounded process
Our process is designed to be clear, clinically grounded, and responsive to the needs of both the individual and the referring professional, helping build confidence from first contact through to review.
01
Initial Contact
Each referral is reviewed to understand the presenting need, wider context, urgency, complexity, and the key stakeholders involved.
02
Information Gathering
We gather relevant clinical, functional, environmental, and service information to plan the most appropriate next step and support efficient, clinically grounded decision-making.
03
Assessment and Liaison
A specialist assessment is arranged, with liaison as needed across families, carers, case managers, services, and equipment partners to keep the process joined up, practical, and relevant to the individual’s needs.
04
Recommendations and Reporting
We provide clear recommendations and reporting that explain the clinical reasoning, practical options and agreed next steps for the individual.
05
Equipment Trials and Clinical Handover
Where equipment is indicated, we support meaningful trials and a clinically appropriate handover, checking fit, function, usability and understanding before a solution is treated as established.
06
Review and Ongoing Support
Where required, we remain involved for review, follow-up, and ongoing support as needs evolve over time and outcomes continue to be monitored in a clinically relevant way.
