GP Access for patients with Sensory Loss or Physical Disability
We are currently reviewing Bury GP services and evaluating how suitable they are for access by those with additional needs. This is to include those with sensory disabilities, such as hearing loss, deafness, sight loss and blindness. Additionally, we will be looking at how the surgeries are suitable for people with physical disabilities, including wheelchair access, seating, reception desks and more.
Healthwatch Bury aim to work alongside members of the public, GP surgeries and associated organisations to capture data , testimonies and witness the patient journey. Highlighting best practices and celebrating when things are done well. We aim for a joined-up approach to patients access to GP appointments and the care patients need making recommendations and supporting positive outcomes.
We would like to invite you to a team meeting to discuss the project, its aims, desired outcomes and how you can support and get involved.
