My elderly father has just started using a wheelie walker but 2 taxis have just refused to take him home from town as they say they can’t fit the (collapsible) walker in the taxi. I thought this was not allowed? I believe there is legislation about this? @DisRightsUK @ageuk

Big upgrade to the award this year!
Definitely worth applying - especially now it can be completed from anywhere in the world.
Seems unfair consultants are excluded!
Not content with launching one award today, we are delighted to announce that applications are also open for the Averil Mansfield Travelling Fellowship!
This award of up to £2500 is open to ASGBI members who are non-consultant doctors and supports visits to centres of excellence in emergency general surgery (EGS) across the UK and worldwide.
Deadline - 28th February.
