FAQ’s.
Q: Where is the proposed refurbishment?
We are proposing to build full first floor of present Elm Tree Surgery, 22 B Westbury Street, Thornaby. TS17 6PG.
Q: The first-floor surgery may be very difficult to access if you use a wheelchair or have limited mobility. How will the new first floor meet the needs of older people and those with a disability?
The proposed new surgery floor would provide good accessible space enabling ease of access for our most vulnerable patients. The plans for the new refurbishment exceed all building regulations for compliance with the Disability Discrimination Act. It has two sets of stairs and a lift to take to first floor.
Q: If the Practice make first floor the care and personal touch would be lost. Would the staff change?
No, there would be no change to the existing staff, and we would continue to provide the same high standard of service as we do now. We may look to expand the service in time with the addition of extra staff to improve upon the services available.
