Disability Access Policy

We're committed to providing a welcoming and accessible environment for everyone.

Beckett House Practice is located on the ground and first floors of a 1960s tower block. As such we made adjustments to support disabled access to the premises. We have a ramp to the front door, an automatic front door, an accessible WC and staff are trained and ready to support patients needing assistance. Motorised scooters are allowed in the practice. Doctors will use ground floor consulting rooms when patients are unable to go to the first floor.

• A portable induction loop is available.
• We are able to request BSL interpreters 
• We provide documents in large print upon request.

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.

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.
