"Too noisy - not good for sensory overload "

About: Cedars Medical Centre

I’m a person with no sensory issues but as a Mum and teacher I feel the experience in the reception is unpleasant. Phones are ringing constantly ( can’t be helped) the radio is blaring adverts and a screen is showing different types of green /bloody vomit. It’s 8:55am and I feel totally overwhelmed , irritable . I’m about to have a health check so rarely visit docs as I’m healthy. I expected to enter a calm quiet waiting area. I think for children , deaf people or someone with dementia this could be a difficult experience. The GPS are great - this is only a comment on the wait
