Disability Access

 

The standard aims to make sure that people who have a disability, impairment or sensory loss are provided with information that they can easily read or understand and with support so they can communicate effectively with health and social care services.

 Further information can be found on NHS England’s website

Please let the practice know if you require any communication or information support needs.
