A new independent driving and mobility centre, South Coast DriveAbility, has begun delivering assessment services across the South Coast region.
While preparations continue for the centre’s permanent base in Fareham, expected to open in April, the team has already started seeing clients at a number of outreach locations.
The first driving assessments were delivered in Salisbury on 6 February, followed by passenger assessments in Bournemouth on 10 February. Further services are being introduced in Eastleigh, where the first client will be seen on 20 February, with arrangements also in place to begin assessments in Newport on the Isle of Wight.
South Coast DriveAbility will provide clinically informed driving and mobility assessments delivered by specialist teams, including occupational therapists and driving assessors. These assessments help individuals whose driving may be affected by a health condition, disability or age-related change to understand their options and make informed decisions about safe mobility.
As the Fareham centre prepares to open, we will share further updates.
