If you have any special needs please let our staff know so that we can help you, and also ensure you get the same support in the future.
Access for Disabled Patients at all 3 sites
The premises were designed in accordance with regulations at the time of building (2002), with access for disabled patients. We also have a hearing loop on the reception desk, and the facility for blind people to bypass the patient call display. If your access needs for services at the centre are not met by the facilities provided please let us know.
There is access to the surgery and toilet facilities for patients in wheelchairs. We have a display call system for patients who are hard of hearing, and partially sighted/registered blind patients will be called by reception staff. If you find our facilities lacking for your particular disability, please bring this to the notice of the practice manager, or the clinician you are seeing at the surgery.
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. For more information and an Application Form visit your local council office.
There is plenty of car parking at Middlestown. Flockton has 2 spaces at the front of the building but the Sun Inn have kindly given us permission to park in their car park (when their chain is not across) and Emley is road side parking.
Loop system
We have a loop induction system at Reception to assist the hearing impaired. For more information on the loop hearing system visit Hearing Link website.
