England Country Capacity Assessment of AT

1 videos • 2 views • by Global Disability Innovation Hub England Country Capacity Assessment is aimed at informing a more integrated approach to Assistive Technology (AT) provision in England. The research was undertaken from November 2022 to March 2023 - led by the Global Disability Innovation (GDI) Hub, and using WHO tools in the Assistive Technology Assessment (ATA) suite. The results aim to support policymakers in identifying actions to strengthen service delivery to better meet disabled people’s needs, improving outcomes for AT users and reducing inefficiencies in the current approach. This digital launch was an opportunity for us to present the report findings, sharing more on the complex state of AT in England. While we found that delivery systems tend to provide quality products that have a strong, positive impact on people’s lives, processes are often slow and stressful for users and providers alike.
