At Step Right Podiatry we are trained, and experienced health professionals. This means we are used to helping people with varied abilities and can adjust our approach to best suit the patient’s needs. This is something learned through many years of working with people with different abilities.
To aid communication with people who experience hearing and sight loss we have a computer, and a large screen so the information we deliver can be displayed in large text, to be an easier read. We also have a (wipe clean) whiteboard to aid communication if this was preferred. We also have a ‘hearing loop’ system available for use.
We have gained advice from the people we support and sought advice from professional services to enhance the visitor experience in the clinic to better address people’s needs with hearing and sight loss.
