Wheelchair service training package for managers: Additional resources
Following the release in 2008 of the Guidelines on the provision of manual wheelchairs in less resourced settings(1), in 2012 the first package within a range of Wheelchair Service Training Packages (WSTP) was released: the Wheelchair Service Training Package – Basic Level (WSTPb)(2). This was followed in 2013 by the release of the Wheelchair Service Training Package – Intermediate Level (WSTPi)(3). The World Health Organization (WHO) in partnership with the United States Agency for International Development (USAID) has now developed the third part of the WSTP consisting of two sub-packages: the Wheelchair Service Training Package for Managers (WSTPm) and the Wheelchair Service Training Package for Stakeholders (WSTPs). This third part of the WHO WSTP is designed to support managers to effectively support appropriate wheelchair provision; and to raise awareness among stakeholders and promote their involvement in establishing appropriate wheelchair provision in their country/region.
