Disabled access

This surgery is located at the Tory Street end of Tennyson Street. The surgery does not provide off street parking for patients and the street parking in the area is pay and display. There is a Mobility Park close to the surgery across the street.

Access from the car park to reception

• The metal and glass door to the surgery is not electronic and is located between the first and second of these zigzags and is easy to open by wheelchair users
• There are no curb cuts in the immediate vicinity of the surgery. The nearest is on the corner of Tory Street 
• Alternatively patients could use the driveway access at the auto electricians situated next to the surgery. This driveway entrance has been bridged by a metal plate to create a flatter access
• Access to the surgery is via a ramp from the edge of the path
• There is a small but uneven difference in height between the ramp and the footpath. The difference increases from 1 cm at one end to 3 cm at the other
• The ramp then has three zigzags leading to the reception area
• The ramp has a low dividing wall and has handrail
