Quantum Rehab + GTK: Exploring Power Mobility (Sydney)

Choosing the right power chair can feel overwhelming. With so many power bases, drive options and access methods available, many clinicians feel apprehensive when it comes to selecting and justifying the most appropriate solution for their client. Delivered collaboratively by Quantum Rehab and GTK, this immersive clinical education session is focused on empowering clinicians at all experience levels to confidently dissect power chairs, understand how and why they work, and apply that knowledge to real world prescription and funding justification. We believe that to truly understand a product and put theory into practice, clinicians need time to trial, explore and experience it. This philosophy underpins this workshop. Led by a team of passionate Clinical Educators, the workshop is vibrant, practical, and built around learning by doing. We'll take a close look at the Quantum Rehab power bases, including a dedicated look at the new Edge 4. We will break down the key differences between major bases, explore their functional and clinical benefits, and discuss how to match these features to individual client needs. Participants will have the opportunity to trial each base and drive them through practical scenarios, supporting clearer clinical reasoning and stronger justification when selecting a power chair. Why attend? Power mobility doesn’t have to feel overwhelming. This day is designed to support clinicians at all experience levels to build confidence, reduce apprehension, and develop practical skills they can apply immediately in clinical practice. What you’ll walk away with: By the end of the workshop, you will leave with • Confidence in assessing, selecting and justifying power chairs for a wide range of client presentations • A clear understanding of power base differences and how these impact function and real-world outcomes • Hands on experience driving multiple power bases through practical case scenarios • Practical strategies you can apply immediately in your next power mobility assessment Additional inclusions • CPD points applicable to Occupational Therapists and Physiotherapists • Certificate of attendance provided • Lunch and refreshments included.
