Do you know a UK-based wheelchair user who works in a lab and would be willing to user-test our prototype of what is believed to be the first-ever lab coat adapted for wheelchair users?

Best of luck!

works really well and doesn't get in the way of me pushing manual wheels, and stores compactly rolled up under my chair.
Also I would totally be up for making some of these if anybody needs it and can supply the right fabric.

Aside from that I am fully qualified!
Best of luck with what is an awesome project!
Imagine trying to take off a standard lab coat quickly without standing up.
but that's a bloody awesome creation!
My friend with MS does a lot of stand-ups at grocery stores for example.
This is such a cool project! I wish you all luck and spoons
