Get Wise Leaflets

BHTA - Get Wise Leaflets Highly readable and colourful, BHTA's "Get Wise"leaflets are of tremendous use to wheelchair and mobility vehicle users as well as to those people thinking of buying a stairlift.

Three enduringly popular leaflets "Get wise to using public transport", "Get wise to using electric scooters and wheelchairs" and "Get wise to buying a mobility vehicle" have been redesigned and relaunched.

The other three more recent leaflets "Get wise- get more from your battery", "Get wise to buying a stairlift" and "Get wise- how to make sure your wheelchair remains stable" are also becoming a 'must read' by consumers and professionals alike.

A free sample copy of each is available on request from the BHTA or multiple copies can be purchased.

Get Wise to the BHTA Code of Practice

All BHTA members have to sign up to the Code, so this means that when consumers deal with a BHTA company they can expect a much higher standard of protection than that required by law and they can be reassured the company will behave in an ethical and trustworthy manner. And, finally,if there is a problem, independent arbitration is available. This booklet explains more about the Code and what it means both to the customer and the company.
