Personal Reasonable Adjustments

The Reasonable Adjustment Digital Flag is a visible marker on a patient’s record which identifies the changes that need to be made by health and care services to make services as accessible for disabled people as they are for everyone else.

If you feel your needs require a reasonable adjustment, for example: a British Sign Language Interpreter, a quieter room for you to wait in, wheelchair accessibility or even to be seen with your Carer, please speak to our reception team. This information will also be captured in any routine appointment, telephone call with a staff member and any health checks you may have with our staff.

Please do not contact the surgery unless you require Reasonable Adjustments

🔴If you are unable to attend an appointment it is vital you contact the surgery to cancel the appointment to make it available for another patient.🔴
📱☎️If you cannot make your appointment you can cancel it on the NHS App 📲or Contact the Surgery on - 0161 621 4800 ☎️

🗓️We do send Reminders prior to your appointments 🗓️

It can sometimes be difficult to a get a routine appointment with a GP or Nurse within a certain time frame.
Where such demand is unpredictable, this cannot easily be remedied. One thing that makes this even more difficult to overcome is the problem of missed appointments – DNAs.
