The Queen Elizabeth Hospital King’s Lynn NHS Foundation Trust today launches an Accessibility Guide in partnership with AccessAble; the UK’s leading provider of detailed disabled access information.

The Queen Elizabeth Hospital King’s Lynn NHS Foundation Trust has worked with AccessAble to create Detailed Access Guides to facilities, wards, and departments at The Queen Elizabeth Hospital King’s Lynn.

The Guides are 100 per cent facts, figures and photographs to help patients, visitors and staff plan their journeys to and around the hospital site, covering everything from parking facilities and hearing loops, to walking distances and accessible toilets.

We know everyone’s accessibility needs are different, which is why having detailed, accurate information is so important. It’s why all of the details you’ll find in the Guide have been checked in person, on site, by trained surveyors.     

Anna Nelson, Chief Executive of AccessAble, said:

“We are delighted to launch this new Accessibility Guide to The Queen Elizabeth Hospital King’s Lynn NHS Foundation Trust, prioritising accessibility and patient experience, recognising how crucial detailed access information is for disabled patients, visitors and staff.  

I would like to express my thanks to the Trust for championing the provision of hospital accessibility information, making visits less anxious, uncertain and difficult for disabled people.” 

Linda Purdy, Associate Director of Patient Experience at The Queen Elizabeth Hospital King’s Lynn NHS Foundation Trust, said:

“We are really pleased to have worked with AccessAble and to launch AcessAble on our Trust website.

As part of our patient Experience Workplan and Strategy this will provide a better patient & visitor experience by giving digital access to review the disability services and provision we offer as a Trust. This gives patients the ability to review in advance any ward area, outpatients and assists the patient, relative or their carer to navigate around the Trust. This is a really positive step forward for patient experience.”

It is also available via the AccessAble App which is free to download from the App Store and Google Play, giving you accessibility information at your fingertips during your hospital visit.

The information to The Queen Elizabeth Hospital King’s Lynn NHS Foundation Trust joins over 70,000 places already covered across the UK, making www.AccessAble.co.uk a great tool not only for planning a hospital visit, but also a day out or trip away.
