Disability Access Policy

 

< Back to policies & procedures

We are fortunate to operate from two purpose-built premises. The Barn Surgery can be found in the town centre of Gillingham, and Peacemarsh Surgery can be found in Peacemarsh. Both surgeries offer a hearing loop system.

If there are any other services you require, please do not hesitate to contact the Care Navigators, who will always do their best to help answer any questions.

Translation and Interpreting

For patients requiring a translator during a consultation, please let the Care Navigators know, and this can be organised through a service we use called Language Line.

Wheelchair Access

The Practice has been specially designed to make it easier for disabled patients to visit; patients also have access to a disabled toilet.

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.
