COVID-19 Changes to Guidelines - 2023

We appreciate that many of our Patients will be anxious about the changes in guidelines with effect from 19th July 2021.  As a Practice we are committed to continue to safeguard our Staff and Patients at all times.  It is a patient's choice if they wish to wear a face mask.  If you wish the Clinical member of staff that you are consulting with to wear a face mask please advise Reception. 

As always 'Thanks you' in advance for all your support during these difficult times.
