Spinney Hill Medical Centre

Disability Access at the surgery

Information for Disabled Patients
If you have any support needs please let our staff know so that we can help and ensure you get the same support in the future.

Wheelchair Access
Both 143 St Saviours Road & 132 Doncaster Road sites have catered for wheelchair access, to allow to enter the practice premises with ease.

Hard of Hearing
Both 143 St Saviours Road & 132 Doncaster Road sites have catered for hard of hearing patients, by installing Hearing Loops.

Hearing Loop is an assistive listening system that helps make public premises welcoming to people with hearing loss. They transmit audio directly to users’ hearing aids or cochlear implants, cutting out background noise and making speech clear.

When entering the surgery reception, please look out for the following symbol:

Blind / Partially Sighted / Visually impaired
If you or family members are blind or partially sighted, please inform reception if you require additional assistance. The team are always there to assist.
