Disabled Access

The surgery was purpose-built and so allows access to all of our patients. This includes suitable access for disabled patients, for example, those in wheelchairs.

Loop System

There is a Hearing Loop in reception for use by people with hearing aids and the building has been designed and decorated to make it easier for people with visual problems. We have a disabled toilet and baby change facilities.
