Disability Access

 

The Gardens Surgery building has been designed for disabled access. There is a Disabled bay outside the Surgery if you have a valid permit.

We would ask that you let us know if you need help as your disability may not be a visible one.

We would also welcome any suggestions you may have in making your visit to the surgery easier.
