Disability Access

BACK TO MAIN INDEX

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

The Practice building has been designed for disabled access. There is a disabled access point at the reception desk and disabled toilets.

We would ask that you let us know if you need help as your disability may not be a visible one. We would also welcome any suggestions you may have in making your visit to the surgery easier.

Loop System

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