Disability Access Policy

< Back to policies & procedures

The main Lichfield surgery has 4 dedicated parking spaces which share a lowered pavement for easy access for people who use wheelchairs. We have an automatic front door, a lowered section in our reception desk, a hearing loop at reception and a ground floor toilet for people with disabilities. We have signs in colour to aid people with vision impairments.

At the branch surgery in Whittington Inside our branch surgery we have all the features above plus Braille on our tactile signs.

If you have any additional needs please let our staff know so that we can help you, and also ensure you get the same support in the future.
