DISABLED ACCESS

Our surgery in Braintree has a ramp to allow access for disabled patients into the building, but if your doctor usually works upstairs please tell the receptionist and she will arrange for you to be seen on the ground floor. Silver End Surgery is easily accessible to all patients.

CAR PARKING

In Silver End the three spaces in front of the reception office are for the doctors’ and nurses’ use only but parking is plentiful around the surgery. At Braintree we are situated in the town centre, therefore most patients will need to park their vehicles in the public car parks at George Yard, Blyth’s Meadow or Causeway House. We are nonetheless able to offer a small number of spaces to disabled patients and genuine emergencies only in the surgery car park at the side of the building. Parking is not allowed in the roadway at the side of the building or outside the front door.
