movemanSKG Receives a Warm Welcome!

A movemanSKG wheelchair lift provides an access route for less able people at the Wellcome Trust Conference Centre in Hinxton, Cambridge. It ensures compliance with the Disability Discrimination Act (DDA).

2010-09-12
LEICESTER, ENGLAND, September 12, 2010 (Press-News.org) A movemanSKG platform lift is allowing wheelchair users to overcome a short flight of steps at the Wellcome Trust Conference centre in Hinxton, Cambridge. The newly installed Prima Plus resides in a central lobby, and provides an alternative access route to a raised area that contains meeting rooms, lounges, a bar and disabled toilets.

The Wellcome Trust Conference Centre comprises a Grade II* listed country house, Hinxton Hall, and a modern building set on the picturesque banks of the River Cam. It features 72 guest bedrooms, a 300 seat auditorium, training facilities, meeting rooms and an IT suite. The centre hosts functions and events such as weddings, conventions, learning courses and team building exercises.

Like any service provider, the Wellcome Trust Conference Centre must comply with the Disability Discrimination Act (DDA). This means making reasonable adjustments, such as installing platform lifts, to ensure less able people can move around its premises independently.

Operations Manager Nigel Whitham explains; "The DDA does not define what makes adjustments reasonable, it leaves this judgement to the service provider. In our case the only obstacle to wheelchair-bound visitors was a small flight of steps, so a short-rise wheelchair lift proved cost-effective."

"We invited manufacturers of platform lifts to tend and movemanSKG's quote was highly competitive. The company also has an excellent reputation, which helped sway our decision! Our new Prima Plus disabled lift is modern, safe and secure. The unit fits in the limited available space and operates reliably. The service was friendly and professional, the installation swift and seamless."

Prima Plus wheelchair lifts are suitable for indoor or outdoor use and do not require pits, minimising building requirements and associated costs. The Wellcome Trust Centre's unit lifts 300kg up to 1000mm and has glass infill in its upper landing gate.

Passengers access the wheelchair lift using a shallow ramp, which automatically folds up to form a wheel stop when the platform is in motion.

Families Say Private Tuition Definitely Helps Improve Exam Grades

2010-09-12
New research has shown that private tuition does seem to improve grades at GCSE and A-Level. The survey, conducted by First Tutors, asked families with children taking exams this year whether they felt private tuition had improved their estimated grades.

Schaumburg, Illinois: The Best Sleep Apnea Treatment: CPAP vs. Oral Appliances. A Question of Compliance and Effectiveness. Oral Appliances Win the Compliance Award. Snoring Can Be Cured!

2010-09-12
What is the best sleep apnea treatment? It is not CPAP, according to a recent study that showed 60% of patients abandon CPAP use. At least it is not the best treatment for the 60% of patients who abandoned it. This does not mean CPAP is not the most effective treatment, what it means is no matter how effective a treatment may be, it is a poor treatment if it is not used. Oral appliances are an extremely effective treatment for mild to moderate sleep apnea but less effective for morbidly obese patients and those with severe sleep apnea. Oral appliances are the "Best ...
