The Surgery Building Accessibility

We have made every effort to make our building accessible to all our patients. We have a car park located at the back of the building, and a level footpath leads from the car park to an entrance at the rear of the building. There is a small ramp at the threshold of the door leading from the car park which is easily negotiable with a wheelchair or a pushchair. All the consulting rooms and the treatment room are on the ground floor.

Patients are called forward for their appointments by use of a tannoy system; however, if you have difficulty hearing the tannoy please make the receptionist aware of this problem when you book in and she will be pleased to advise you when the doctor is ready to see you.
