Prism Assessment: Complimentary Assessment for Occupational Therapists
Why Get a Prism Assessment?
We know that providing care for individuals with limited mobility comes with unique challenges. A one-size-fits-all approach just doesn’t work, and finding the right moving, handling, or bathing solution means considering a lot of different factors—from the client’s specific needs to the carer’s comfort, the space you’re working with, and the budget.
That’s where we come in. At Prism, we’re dedicated to helping you find the perfect fit. We offer a free, no-obligation, non-clinical assessment throughout the UK. Our team will work with you to understand the carer and client needs, the care environment and propose a solution that’s just right for everyone involved. Schedule your Prism assessment today; we’re here to assist you in finding the best solution.
Key Benefits of the Assessment
- Complimentary: Our assessments are offered at no charge to you. We aim to build trust and assist you in finding the right solution without requiring any financial commitment upfront.
- No Obligation: There’s no pressure to proceed. After the assessment, you’ll receive our recommendations and a detailed quote, but the decision to move forward is entirely up to you.
- Expert Guidance: Our assessors are your dedicated product advisors. They offer expert, non-clinical guidance that considers user and carer needs, environmental conditions, and budget to find the best solution.
- Tailored Recommendations: A one-size-fits-all approach rarely works. Our assessors provide a detailed, customised quotation that’s specific to the particular situation. As a manufacturer, this can involve designing and building bespoke equipment.
- Efficient: Save time and effort by finding the right solution the first time. Our assessment process streamlines your decision-making, helping you avoid costly mistakes and lengthy product searches.
- Risk Reduction: Boost confidence in your purchase. A professional assessment helps minimise the risk of selecting an unsuitable solution. You can trust you’re making the right decision for your client’s long-term needs.
The Assessment Process
To make the Prism assessment process as simple as possible, we’ve broken it down into four easy steps.
1. Get in Touch
If your query is urgent, we recommend calling us on 01924 840100, option 5. Our Assessor Schedulers are available from 9 am to 5 pm, Monday to Friday.
Alternatively, you can get in touch via our “Contact Us Form“, and we will call you back.
2. Scheduling the Appointment
Once we’ve received your request, our central scheduling team will work with you to arrange a suitable date and time. For appointments, our standard lead time is just 5 working days, but if you have some flexibility, we can often accommodate an appointment within 2-3 days of receiving your request.
3. The Assessment Visit
A Prism representative will arrive at the scheduled time in a branded vehicle and with an ID badge. They will bring a range of equipment, such as slings and shower chairs, for a practical consultation. This collaborative meeting brings together our product specialist, the occupational therapist, and the client to find the ideal solution for the moving and handling challenge.
4. Quotation Presented
Within 24 hours of the assessment, we will send the occupational therapist a detailed quote with our recommendations. This quote will include drawings where applicable, providing a clear visual of the proposed solution. At this point, the case will be with the occupational therapist, who can advise on the next steps, such as going to a panel or ordering directly. Of course, we are always available should further queries arise.
Our Assessors: Your Trusted Product Experts
We take pride in our team of highly skilled and experienced assessors who provide impartial and client-focused recommendations. Our assessors are not salespeople; they are product experts passionate about helping individuals find the most suitable long-term solutions for their needs.
Experience and Expertise
Our assessors are DBS checked and industry-qualified. They receive comprehensive manufacturer training on the products they advise about, ensuring they are always current with the latest solutions. Many of our assessors are former installation engineers, which means they possess a deep understanding of the practical application of products, ensuring their recommendations are not only effective but also realistic and safe.
A Personal and Customer-Centric Approach
We believe a successful assessment is based on trust and a genuine understanding of your needs. Our assessors are skilled in soft skills, including client engagement and a positive bedside manner, to provide a comfortable and respectful experience. They take the time to listen to you and your carers, focusing on your individual needs and long-term goals. Their recommendations are non-incentivised, ensuring that the advice you receive is unbiased and aimed at finding the most cost-effective solution to facilitate quicker approval by funding panels.
