DISABILITY POLICY

Ramshaw & Silver dental practice will not treat a disabled person less favourably than another person because of a disability.

Less favourable treatment includes;

  • Refusing to treat a disabled patient
  • Giving a disabled patient a lower standard of service or treating him/her in a worse manner than an able-bodied patient.
  • Offering a disabled patient less favourable terms.
The following exceptions may occur when, in the dentist's opinion:

  • Health and safety reasons exist
  • The disabled patient is unable to understand that treatment must be paid for, where appropriate.
  • Greater expense would be involved in providing a special service for a disabled patient.
Please note that our Fulwell practice has wheelchair access, and is all on one level. If you wish to transfer, please contact reception who will be happy to assist you.
