Access

BACK TO MAIN INDEX

The building is fully accessible for disabled people and includes suitable toilet facilities, disabled parking and ramps for wheelchair access. There is a lift to other floors.

We have an induction loop fitted for patients and visitors who use hearing aids.

Please talk to our Manager if you feel there are additional facilities we should provide to ensure our services are available to all members of the community.

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.
