Disability Access

Disabled patient facilities are available at this practice. We have a ramp for wheelchair access, and automated doors. There are disabled toilet facilities on the ground floor.

For patients who are hard of hearing the clinician will come out to the reception area to ensure you are able to attend your appointment. We have access to an induction loop system at reception.

If you have any special communication needs this can be flagged in your medical records and staff who are caring for you will be alerted to this when they access your records
