Due to antisocial behaviour and criminal damage in and around Park Practice, for patient and staff safety we will only be opening the side gate to Park Practice between 8am and 6pm. Outside of these times, entry to Park Practice will be through the main entrance. The main gates to the car park will also be locked outside of surgery hours. We apologise for any inconvenience this may cause. 

Accessibility

Disabled Access

We make every effort to make the surgery accessible for disabled patients. There is access through the main door and we have a wheelchair available for use in surgery.

Hearing Difficulties

If you are experiencing hearing difficulties when being called in to see the doctor or nurse, please do let us know in order for us to set up an alert on your medical records and personally collect you from the waiting room. Alternatively, we do have the facility of a portable induction loop. If you would like to use this, please ask at reception for assistance.

When we are closed

If you need a doctor urgently for a condition that cannot wait until surgery re-opens, please telephone NHS 111.

Please do not go to the Accident and Emergency at hospital unless it is a genuine accident or emergency. If you are in doubt, NHS 111 can give advice on many things which may save a call to the doctor or an unnecessary trip to the hospital.
