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

Disabled Parking – Blue Badge Scheme:

The Blue Badge scheme is for people with severe mobility problems. It allows Blue Badge holders to park close to where they need to go.

Blind/Partially Sighted

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