What you think...

DLF Data is an invaluable resource for any
assessor. The website provides unrivalled one-stop access to details of equipment products and their suppliers

Mandy Sainty - Westminster City Council

Our job would be absolutely impossible without the database

Carolyn Forster - Disability North

The most efficient tool available to specify equipment in an unbiased manner. I would recommend its use to other privately practising occupational therapists

An absolute goldmine of information

There's no doubt that DLF has the best product database in the country, making it a tremendous resource both for disabled people and healthcare professionals.
