Expert Witness CPD Training – Assessing and Reporting on Wheelchair Accessible Vehicles
See It. Discuss It. Apply It.
Lewis Reed is delighted to host specialist Expert Witness CPD Training Days, led by Fiona Dennehy, Personal Transport Expert and approved CPD provider, at our headquarters in Bromborough, Wirral.
Designed for Occupational Therapists, Case Managers, Expert Witnesses and professionals working in rehabilitation and personal injury cases, this practical training experience offers five hours of CPD, combining expert guidance, live vehicle demonstrations and interactive case studies.
Beyond the Theory – Get Hands-On
Choosing the right wheelchair accessible vehicle involves far more than selecting a vehicle with a lift or ramp.
Wheelchair dimensions, seated height, passenger positioning, driving adaptations, access requirements and future mobility needs all play an important role in identifying the most appropriate solution.
This training day provides a valuable opportunity to explore these considerations in a practical, supportive environment.
What Will You Learn?
Led by Fiona Dennehy, the programme covers:
The roles of the DVLA Medical Group and Driving Mobility Centres
When a standard vehicle or wheelchair accessible vehicle may be appropriate
Key considerations when selecting a conversion company
Assessment principles through live vehicle demonstrations
Electric, automated and self-driving vehicle technology
An interactive case study workshop
Explore Real Vehicles and Conversion Options
One of the highlights of the day is the opportunity to examine wheelchair accessible vehicles and specialist adaptations first-hand.
Attendees will explore:
Passenger WAVs, driver WAVs and transfer-to-drive solutions
Front, middle and rear wheelchair positions
Specialist seating arrangements
Roof heights and internal headroom
Side-entry and rear-entry wheelchair lifts
Rear-access ramps with lowering suspension
Flexible vehicle layouts tailored to individual needs
Seeing these options in person provides valuable insight into how different conversions can accommodate wheelchair users with varying physical and practical requirements.
