The premises were accessible to people with mobility needs, including wheelchair accessible entrances and automatic doors to support ease of access. A hearing loop was also in place to support people with hearing impairments.

Equity in experiences and outcomes

Score: 3

Staff and leaders actively listened to information about people who were most likely to experience inequality in experience or outcomes. They tailored their care, support and treatment in response to this.
Staff treated people equally and without discrimination. Leaders proactively sought ways to address any barriers to improving people’s experience and worked with local services, including within the voluntary sector, to address any local health inequalities.
Staff demonstrated a good understanding of the importance of providing inclusive care and made appropriate adjustments to promote equity in people’s experiences and outcomes. The service had effective processes in place to ensure people could register with the practice, including those in vulnerable circumstances such as people experiencing homelessness. The practice was also an Armed Forces veteran friendly GP service, demonstrating a commitment to meeting the specific health needs of veterans and their families.
Information was adapted to meet individual needs and was available in accessible formats, including easy read versions. The service worked with learning disability liaison nurses to ensure people with learning disabilities received appropriate support when accessing and using the service.
Interpreting services were also available to support people whose first language was not English, helping to ensure people could communicate effectively and access care safely.
