Helping Portsmouth & Southampton Patients Get Home Sooner: How Mobility at Sea (Renta Scoota ) Can Support Hospital Discharge

In Portsmouth and Southampton, hospitals are facing increasing pressure due to delays in discharging patients who are medically fit to leave.

One of the key barriers?

A lack of timely access to mobility equipment and suitable home adaptations. These issues not only affect patient wellbeing but also strain hospital resources and bed availability.

At Mobility at Sea (Renta Scoota), we believe everyone deserves the dignity of recovering in the comfort of their own home. That’s why we’re committed to being part of the solution.

The Problem: Equipment Shortages and Housing Challenges

Local reports and council documents highlight several systemic issues:

• Delays in providing mobility aids like walking frames, crutches, and wheelchairs.
• Staff shortages, especially occupational therapists, slowing down assessments and equipment prescriptions.
• Supply chain and funding issues affecting timely delivery.

These challenges mean patients often stay in hospital longer than necessary, waiting for the right support to be available at home.

How Mobility at Sea Can Help

We specialise in mobility equipment and daily living aids that can make a real difference in discharge planning and home recovery, by offering a rental service we can help to bridge the void.
