WTS prides itself on its comfort, safety and convenience for its wheelchair passengers.
In addition to all drivers undergoing training on the safety and security of passengers, drivers and escorts who transport passengers with specific disabilities are trained on potential emergency procedures which can potentially occur.
During April, our drivers and escort received in-house training, in conjunction with East Sussex County Council, on three topics:
Tracheostomy – Practical demonstration of oral suctioning competence (to enhance learning from previous tracheostomy training).
Gastrostomy – Theory in enteral feeding tubes and simulated competence on managing a dislodged gastrostomy.
Epilepsy – Awareness and seizure first aid. Competence in adminstration of buccal Midazolam.
Continued training in medical emergencies ensures our team are ready to cope with any eventuality during transportation.

WTS wheelchair transport specialists, celebrate 8 years of providing transport to the Eastbourne and South Wealden branch of the MS Society.
Twice weekly WTS transport wheelchair and non-wheelchair members from their homes to centres in Eastbourne and Polegate where they enjoy activities, social interaction and refreshments, before being returned home.
Loretta Lock, MS Day Services Co-ordinator commented: “Your service is always great and it is so much easier for us to be able to utilise your excellent, reliable service taking away a huge time and work commitment from us and allowing us to focus on supporting those with MS.
We have a committee meeting next week which gives me a great opportunity to forward your comments and add my own opinion regarding how smoothly and efficiently the transport arrangement is working.
I also appreciate the last minute cancellations or requests which you seem to manage for us and look forward to another successful year!”
