Attending Surgery - Current Procedure
Current guidance states that a face covering is required prior to any admittance to a healthcare setting.
If the front door is closed please use the intercom at the main door to inform reception staff that you have arrived, the staff will have screening questions for all patients attending and will take your temperature.
The intercom should not be used to discuss any other matters with the receptionist.
If you have an appointment booked in advance, a member of the team will contact you to ensure patients with symptoms are not coming to the practice.
Demand on the telephone lines has significantly increased, therefore please bear with our staff during this busy period.
We thank you for your support and patience in this matter.
