Disability Access Policy

< Back to policies & procedures

We provide equal access for all our building users.

Holland House Surgery is fully committed to ensuring that disabled people of all ages will be able to get to, move around and use all the facilities in our building comfortably and with ease.

Lytham Primary Care Centre is a purpose-built GP surgery and was designed with disabled access as a priority as follows:

• Emergency egress available to all building users
• Approaches and entrances that provide for shared use
• Accessible parking and drop-off near entrance
• Wide corridors and doorways to our treatment rooms
• Access to disabled toilets
• Lift to the second floor
• Lighting specifically selected to aid people with partial sight
• Acoustic design selected to aid those with hearing loss
• Height of seating and counters
• Accessible signage, information and communication

We always welcome comments and feedback from local access groups and local individuals and organisations reflecting the views of disabled people.

If you have any additional needs please let our staff know so that we can help you, and also ensure you get the same support in the future.
