Disability Access Policy

 

< Back to policies & procedures

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

We have reserved car parking spaces for the disabled near the staff entrance. The patients can ring a bell and enter via staff entrance, which is located just a few metres away from the disabled parking spaces. Wheelchair access to the building is both from the front entrance and carpark door.

We have several wheelchairs available for our patients to use. They are located in Reception and near the staff entrance. Our Reception team members are available to help patients with special needs.

All consulting rooms are on the ground floor, and therefore wheelchair accessible.

The health centre operates a hearing loop system.

For further information on disabled access, or to request any of these services, please contact reception.

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.
