Face Mask Update
Posted on June 7th, 2022
We have received new guidance regarding the wearing of face masks in GP surgeries from NHS England.
Patients who have any respiratory symptoms (coughs, wheezing, etc.) should continue to wear facemasks / face coverings, if tolerated, when coming into any of our buildings. This is for the safety of our other patients, our staff and our community.
If you are Covid-19 positive please do not come into any of our buildings, unless specifically invited in by a clinician.
Patients without respiratory symptoms or who are Covid-19 negative no longer need to wear facemasks when coming in for an appointment, unless this is their personal preference.
In addition, GP and Pharmacy Staff are now not required to wear facemasks, unless it is their personal preference.
We have removed the doorbell from Pharmacy and added more chairs you are invited into the pharmacy and welcome to take a seat while waiting for medication there is no need to form a queue or wait outside
