1.5
1.5
Date of visit: February 2015
I have experience of challenges around: moving around
Overall Rating
Poor
Parking on site good, small lift but managed to get to 2nd floor . Call button/intercom and door to get through impossible if in chair. very tight corridor with extremely tight turn right in to waiting room
Disabled Access In and Around
Bad
As a NHS building dealing with feet it's not easy to get to if in chair. Intercom system can't use as two high and corridor very tight. Low height window to talk to staff.
Parking & Transport
Bad
two spaces, one hatched. but quite tight if you have a WAV can't turn round need to reverse back out!
Accessible Toilets
Good
Toilets available on second floor have to ask staff. decent size new fittings left transfer.
Staff
Average
Reception staff Not exactly polite or helpful, could have opened door near reception to help get in but just watched struggle. Podiatry nurse was brilliant though
Additional Information
Not impressed for a NHS building dealing with feet considering , patients likely not to be able to walk or have foot problems anyway. Second floor tight corridor doesn't help.
