What are reasonable adjustments?
We have ask that any patients who would benefit from Reason Adjustments would let us know. We will add the information to your record (with your permission) so that we offer appointments to suit your needs.
WE CAN PROVIDE
- appointments at the beginning or end of the day to avoid long waiting times.
- evening and weekend appointments when the practice is quieter.
- areas in some of the practices that are quiet zones.
- flexible appointment times – you choose what time is best for you and/or facilitate carers.
- double appointments if needed to allow for good communication.
- printed information to take away - sometimes there is a lot to take in during an appointment.
- multiple investigations organised for the same day – reduce repeated visits – and importantly reduce anxiety.
- Support to desensitise prior to the appointment where needed.
- Planning for the episode of care.
- Making sure we know the individuals likes and dislikes, communication and how they express pain.
If you, or someone you care for require reasonable adjustments for your appointments please let the staff at the practices know.
