I think you are.

Fred used to use his electric wheelchair in St Richards and Worthing Hospital and the man whose garden he once tended was quite excited to be able to go from home right to the clinic on his.

Probably best to ask the hospital.

I use my mobility scooter to go to our local hospital, right into the department I am attending, don't know what the position is if you are an inpatient, there might be health & safety issues which may not allow them to have batteries charged up - best check with hospital.

Researching:
I am researching the Wotherspoon family from the Old/New Monkland areas of Scotland, some moved to the Leslie and Kelty areas of Fife and I'm having problems linking the Wotherspoon's from Leslie and the Wotherspoon's from Kelty. I am also researching the Clusker family from Co. Meath in Ireland who moved to West Lothian and from there to Fife............"Vita non est vivere sed valere vita est"

I suppose it depends on how much space there is in the department you are visiting. I certainly couldn't use mine the last time I visited for an appointment, just enough room for a wheelchair

Researching:
Nothing much

Best to phone the hospital in question. Probably OK in certain area where there is space. But if limited space in others may cause a problem.
