The Integrated Community Equipment Service is jointly funded by Leicester City Council, Leicestershire County Council, Rutland County Council and Leicester, Leicestershire and Rutland NHS.
The service is operated on behalf of the partner organisations by Nottingham Rehab Supplies Limited (NRS).

In addition to the standard stock range, health and social care professionals are also able to order items of special equipment, where appropriate, for their service users.

If you want to arrange a collection of equipment that is no longer required, please telephone 0844 893 6373.
