Disabled Access

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. 

Wheelchair access 
The Practice has been specially designed to make it easier for disabled patients to visit. There are no steps at the entrance of the building giving patients easy access. Due to fire regulations, we do have heavy fire doors, however if you have trouble opening these please ask Reception for assistance as they are always happy to help. 

There are several dedicated disabled car parking spaces available immediately outside the 
front entrance of the practice. 

We have a wheelchair for patient’s use, at their own risk, should you require one whilst visiting our premises. 

We have two disabled toilets one on each floor. 

We also have a lift so patients can easily access both floors of the Practice. 

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. 

Loop System 
We have a loop induction system at the reception desk to assist the hearing impaired. For more information on the loop hearing system visit Hearing Link website.
