It’s vital to support the work of TOs and OTs, and bathroom adaptations play a central part in this. We have a long-standing relationship with the Impey team, whose product offering and knowledge is second to none. We are looking forward to working with them again on this series of meetings, and finding out about progressions in the bathroom adaptations sector.”
