Access

 

BACK TO MAIN INDEX

 

At the Pembridge Villas surgery we understand the importance of access for disabled patients.

The original building was not purpose-built as a surgery but we have made adjustments in order to accommodate our disabled patients.

We have installed a special button for wheelchair and buggy access so that patients can simply press this to open the door upon entering and exiting the surgery. We also have a stair lift installed on the ground floor to ensure that patients have access to clinical rooms.

We also have a toilet with disabled access.

If you have any concerns prior to your visit please call ahead to let us know and we will do our best to help.

 
 

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.

 

Blind / Partially Sighted

If you or family members are blind or partially sighted we can give you a large print of our practice leaflet upon request. Please ask Reception for further information.

For more advice and support for blind people please see the following websites:

 

Guide Dogs

Guide dogs are welcome at the surgery but we ask that you be aware of other patients and staff who may have an allergy or fear of dogs.

Interpretation Services

We can arrange/call for a translator or sign language interpreter to be present or available on the telephone when this is required by a patient.
