Reasonable Adjustments

Reasonable Adjustments in Bridge and Monkseaton Medical Practice

Reasonable adjustments are small changes that can help people with a disability or health condition with a big and long-term effect on their lives to be treated equally.

The law says that reasonable adjustments should be put in place. These are simple changes made by healthcare staff. It is your right to ask for reasonable adjustments.

This could be the way that staff treat you or the things that you need when you are in hospital. Every person is different and will need different things but there are some which are more common. E.g., larger print leaflets, hearing loop, leaflets in other languages.

If you have a reasonable adjustment you would like the practice to consider, please fill in our Reasonable Adjustments Form and hand it in to the practice.
