Assistance and guide animals
Assistance animals (typically dogs) that are "trained to perform specific tasks" to improve the quality of life of owners with a disability have rights of access under the Equality Act 2010. This definition extends far beyond that of guide and hearing dogs.
Assistance animals are welcome at all of our sites. When faced with extreme situations we may need to consider further or alternative reasonable adjustments to ensure the safe treatment of patients.
We recognise the invaluable role emotional support animals, also sometimes referred to as companion or therapy animals play in many peoples lives however in order to maintain a safe and hygienic surgery environment we cannot extend access to include them also. We ask that only assistance animals as identified within the meaning of access rights in accordance with the Equality Act 2010 are brought onto our premises.
Any bags of animal waste you have collecetd and bagged up on your journey to the practice must be properly disposed of before arrival at our premises.
