Disability Access Policy

If you have any additional needs please let our staff know so that we can help you, and also ensure you get the same support in the future.

Disabled Access

Our surgery is accessible to patients using a wheelchair. We also have three parking spaces outside the practice which are reserved for patients displaying a disabled sticker.

The surgery can be used by wheelchair users and there is no need to use lifts or ramps as the entire surgery is at ground level.

For patients with hearing problems, we have a loop system installed. Interpretation and translation services are available for patients who do not speak English. Please let us know in advance if someone needs this service and we will arrange an interpreter.  This could take up to two weeks.

Disabled Parking – Blue Badge Scheme

The Blue Badge Scheme is for people with severe mobility problems. It allows Blue Badge holders to park close to where they need to go.

For more information and an Application Form visit your local council office.

Loop System

We have a loop induction system at Reception to assist the hearing impaired. 

Blind/Partially Sighted

If you or your family members are blind or partially sighted we can give you an accessible electronic version or large print of our Practice leaflet upon request. Please ask our staff for further information.

Guide dogs are welcome at the Practice but we ask that you be aware of other patients and staff who may have an allergy or fear of dogs.
