Disabled Access
Wheelchair access to East Cowes Health Centre is through the main entrance. There is a dropping off point outside, but patients are asked to use one of the parking bays in the main car park if they intend to stay for more than a few minutes. A disabled toilet is available in the foyer and there is a call system if you require help.
If you have difficulty accessing any part of the building or require help, please speak to one of the reception staff. A wheelchair is available at reception. There is a designated disabled parking space in the car par
Loop System
There is a Hearing Loop in reception for use by people with hearing aids and the building has been designed and decorated to make it easier for people with visual problems. We have a disabled toilet and baby change facilities.
