Building Accessibility

We have considered patient accessibility and are actively looking at where we can improve, we have or are looking into the following:

• Automatic Doors (Being looked into)
• Wheelchair ramps
• Wide Corridors
• Disabled Toilets
• Disabled Parking Bays located close to the front doors
• A hearing loop (please ask a member of the patient services team if you would like to use this)

Interpreters

We have access to both language interpreters and sign language interpreters.

Language Interpreter – Please advise our Patient Services Team if a language interpreter is required for your consultation. The interpreter is normally provided via telephone. With advanced notice a interpreter might be able to be arranged to attend a face-to-face consultation.

Sign Language Interpreter for Deaf Patients – Please advise our Patient Service Team if a sign language interpreter is required for your consultation. This will be arranged through a video link.
