Access Guide
Generic (Alternative Services)
- This branch and the business is committed to making the services they offer accessible to all customers. As well as in-person appointments at their office, they can adapt to your needs and requirements by using phone calls, email or video calls – whichever works best for you and your circumstances. If you’d rather see them face-to-face in your own home, they can always accommodate that too. In each branch a portable hearing loop is available on request with 48 hours notice. To find out more or if you have any further questions, please contact your local branch.
