Follow the path to where the ‘reception’ sign is and it will take you to a door with a buzzer.
Press the top button labelled ‘Musculoskeletal Community Service’ and a member of staff will
talk to you through the intercom. Let them know who you are and the reason for your visit and
the door will be unlocked for you.
Go through the door. If you have difficulties getting through the door let the friendly reception
staff know when you talk to them over the intercom system and they will come and help you.
When you’re through the door, take your first left.
Follow the corridor a short way and the reception window is on your right. Let the friendly
reception staff know who you’re here to see and take a seat on the chairs in the waiting area
behind you.
Just so you know…the clinic is fully
accessible throughout and has disabled
access toilets. If you need assistance or a
mobility aid then please ask our staff who will
be happy to help you.
Also, there is a café on site where you can
call in for a drink or something to eat. It opens
from 8am until 10.30am for breakfast and
from 12 noon until 1.30pm for lunch. Ask at
your appointment if you are unsure where it is
and someone will let you know where to go.
