We were delighted to have Minister Anne Rabbitte TD present a certificate to our ATSS Manager, Simon Hall, for the 'Sit to Stand' project. The project was part of the CREATE showcase in the Ashling Hotel Dublin

Our Sit-to-Stand project aimed to demonstrate the benefits of sit-to-stand technology for individuals with disabilities across physical, emotional, and social dimensions. The goals include proving value for money for these systems and educating staff within the CRC and the broader HSE network.

Sit-to-Stand technology can be seen in RTE's article about Gary, his experiences using a standing chair and how it's changed his life. Gary started using a standing chair after an assessment with us at the CRC.
