NAEP - National Association Equipment Providers

The National Association Equipment Providers (NAEP) founded in 1996, is an established membership association, which represents a broad spectrum of personnel working in all sectors of community equipment provision and their associated services in the United Kingdom.

• DO YOU work within the Health, Social Care, the Voluntary or Private Sector for Equipment Provision or within a Social Enterprise covering community provision?

• DO YOU play a part in equipment provision and wheelchair services within the community, incorporating all the essential elements such as assessment, supply, loan, commissioning and procurement?

Then NAEP is the membership association for you. As a national Association we offer a range of services / benefits to support our members throughout the UK - see right for details.

NAEP has and will continue to work closely with all Government bodies and associated partners throughout the United Kingdom to ensure that policy changes are informed by evidence – this is your chance to make sure your voice is heard.

Although our core membership continues to be from the statutory and voluntary sector Community Equipment Services, who provide a vital service in the provision of health / social care equipment on a loan basis to meet the needs of residents within their locality.
In recent years our membership has significantly increased and has been complimented with the introduction of new membership categories to embrace all equipment providers such as the Retailers and Supplier & Manufacturers.
