Disabled Access
The consultation areas and certain facilities in West Gate Health Centre are accessible to the disabled. However, if you require assistance please ask any of the staff. Patients requiring help accessing or exiting the building should inform Reception staff when making their appointment.
Wheelchair access
The Practice has been specially designed to make it easier for disabled patients to visit; patients also have access to a disabled toilet.
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.
