A community equipment service(CES) is jointly commissioned and run by NRS National Care on behalf of the county council and West Sussex Health, the provider arm of NHS West Sussex.

The county council is the lead commissioner for the service, and our contract with NRS is managed by a small team based in Goring-by-Sea.

Following assessment by an occupational therapist, community nurse or physiotherapist, the community equipment service will provide equipment to help people with physical and sensory impairments of all ages - including children - to live more independently.

Any equipment provided is on loan, and there are no financial assessments or charges.
