Wheelchair & Pushchair Access
Stanley Health Centre has been designed to allow easy access for wheelchair users and those with young children in pushchairs. We have toilet facilities for disabled patients. We have baby changing facilities too, we can also arrange a private area if you wish to breastfeed whilst visiting the practice. Please contact us if you are planning to attend and want to discuss any matter or request our assistance during your visit or you can just speak to one of our Receptionists on arrival  
Car Parking
Parking at the practice is for those using the practice or pharmacy services. We have dedicated parking for disabled users and ask that you display your Blue Badge each visit.

For anyone not using the Health Centre we ask that you do not use the car park as this prevents those with appointments being able to access the building in time for their appointments.

Please allow enough time to find a parking space and attend your appointment in good time

Accessible Information Standard
We would also like to know if you have any communication needs or sensory impairment, such as hearing or visual difficulties. We can then provide information about our practice and other NHS services in a format that is accessible to you. Please inform us during your next visit to the practice.
