This accessibility statement applies to this website. This website is built on the default template provided by Ionos. The practice can edit the website content. This may inadvertently introduce non-accessible content. We will always respond to and resolve any accessibility issues promptly and courteously.

This website is run by The Heavitree Practice. We want as many people as possible to be able to use this website. For example, that means you should be able to:

We’ve also made the website text as simple as possible to understand. AbilityNet has advice on making your device easier to use if you have a disability.
