Disability Access

The premises now provide a modern and comfortable environment for patients, GPs and their staff. The refurbishment enabled the practice to become more disability-friendly and now has improved access for disabled persons.

We have the following:

  • A lift
  • Two disabled toilets, one on each floor.
  • A portable hearing loop

There is a buzzer on the front door should you need assistance entering or leaving the practice.

We are also happy to provide newsletters in larger print for those patients with visual impairment. Please speak to the receptionist.

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.

We are unable to provide letters to support Blue Badge applications. Patients can provide supporting documentation such as prescriptions, diagnosis letters or correspondence available on their NHS app account.

Blue Badge information and how to apply can be found here.

Loop system

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