Wheelchair access
Please note that although we are able to accommodate wheelchairs and indeed, have a practice wheelchair for patient use, we are not able to accommodate motorised scooters inside the Health Centre and we ask that you park these in an appropriate place outside in the car park. If you need assistance with accessing the Health Centre and are unable to bring someone along with you to help, please let the Reception Staff know when you book your appointment and we will make every effort to help.
Disabled parking – Blue badge scheme
The 1st space on the left as you enter the car-park is a designated disabled parking space
The Blue Badge Scheme is for people with severe mobility problems. It allows Blue Badge holders to park close to where they need to go. For more information and an Application Form visit your local council office.
Loop system
We have a loop induction system at Reception to assist the hearing impaired. For more information on the loop hearing system visit Hearing Link website.

Toilets
Aylestone Health Centre has two toilets for the disabled, one one the ground floor and one on the first floor.
Lift
The practice has a lift for easy access to the first floor although the majority of our appointments happen on the ground floor. Please ask Reception Staff if you require access to the lift as it requires a key to operate it.
