We've funded new access guides for all 10 sites at University Hospitals Bristol and Weston NHS Foundation Trust (UHBW).

The Trust has worked with AccessAble to create Detailed Access Guides to facilities, wards, and departments at its sites.

The guides are 100 per cent facts, figures and photographs to help patients, visitors and staff plan their journeys to and around the hospitals, covering everything from parking facilities and hearing loops, to walking distances and accessible toilets.

All of the details in the guides have been checked in person, on site, by trained surveyors.

Professor Deirdre Fowler, chief nurse and midwife at UHBW and Bristol & Weston Hospitals Charity Trustee, said: "We appreciate that everyone's accessibility needs are different and we want to be an inclusive organisation, which is why providing detailed, accurate information about our locations to patients and carers is so important."

The guides cover all of the 10 hospitals we support.

The guides also available via the AccessAble App which is free to download from the App Store and Google Play, giving you accessibility information at your fingertips during your hospital visit.

UHBW joins over 70,000 places already covered across the UK, making www.AccessAble.co.uk a great tool not only for planning a hospital visit, but also a day out or trip away.
