Struggling to get in and out of the car? Then a car lever may be helpful to have something to hold and push your weight on as you enter/leave the car. A great tip an occupational therapist told me once is to sit on a plastic bag in the car as you can use it to easily turn yourself to get your legs outside the car!

When out and about if you have a medical condition I  recommend writing a medical card with your information and the important things for people to know should you have a medical emergency.

But this is equally important if you are a carer - if you care for someone relying on you I would write a card highlighting who you care for and what there needs are should anything happen to you.
