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.

Facilities

There are disabled access facilities available at this surgery and disabled toilets.

A wheelchair is available for those who require it for their visit.

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.
