Disability Access

 

There is parking available for patients visiting the practice at the back of the surgery with designated disabled bays. Please park carefully and avoid blocking access.

The surgery claims no responsibility for any damages whilst parking in our carpark. There are a few steps from the car park into the surgery or disabled access without steps from the front of the building on Dorchester Road.

If you have any access problems, please discuss with the receptionists and we will do our best to help.

No dogs are allowed inside the building apart from guide dogs or assistance dogs. Reception is based on the ground floor with a disabled toilet and consulting rooms. There is a lift available to the first floor consulting rooms with another disabled toilet.
