Hi Graeme,

I'm not sure if you are referring mainly to physical access or access to the interface itself (to use the machine), but the latter is an area that the Trace Center in Madison, Wisconsin in the US is expert in. You can read more here: http://trace.wisc.edu/news/archives/000196.php

Cheers,
Dave  ;-)

Dear Forum Members,

 

An issue has arisen at our hospital base (i.e. Walkergate Park) in relation to accessible vending machines, to the extent that when out of hours (canteen closed!), the vending machines require the attendance of a staff member to assist clients accordingly (e.g. wheelchair user).

 

Does anyone have experience or can offer advice in relation to the availability of specialist companies offering appropriate vending machines.

 

Fingers crossed!

 

Graeme
