Accessibility and Reasonable Adjustments at Saxon Spires Practice
Saxon Spires Practice is committed to ensuring that our services are accessible to all patients and that everyone receives a high standard of care, regardless of their individual needs. We aim to identify and remove barriers that may prevent patients from using our services effectively.
Reasonable Adjustments
We understand that some patients require additional support to access healthcare. We are happy to make reasonable adjustments to accommodate your needs. These may include, but are not limited to:
- Providing information in alternative formats (such as large print or easy read).
- Allocating longer appointment slots if you require more time to communicate or process information.
- Offering appointments in ground-floor consulting rooms or areas with wheelchair access.
- Assistance for those with sensory impairments or neurodivergent conditions
Interpreting Services
If English is not your first language, or if you require a British Sign Language (BSL) interpreter, we can arrange professional interpreting services for your consultation.
- Foreign Language Interpreters: We provide telephone or face-to-face interpreting services.
- British Sign Language (BSL): We can book BSL interpreters for your appointments to ensure clear communication with our clinical team.
Please note that these services are provided at no cost to the patient, but they sometimes need to be booked in advance.
