Learning Disability Friendly Practice
At Chineham surgery we are passionate about providing good clinical care to all our patients. We have worked locally with the learning disability team to become a 'friendly' practice to those with learning disabilities and their carers ensuring that they receive the same level of care. Special requirements or needs are accommodated wherever possible.
