The use of face masks is very important in reducing the risk of spreading the Coronavirus and all it’s variants.
As a Practice we have made the decision to insist that ALL patients wear masks inside the surgery, including those who feel they are exempt. This includes while waiting in the waiting room and even if just popping in to drop off or collect some paperwork. If wearing a mask affects you, the doctor or nurse will let you know if you can remove your mask once you arrive in their consulting room.
We all need to do our bit to reduce the spread of the virus and especially be mindful that some patients coming to the surgery are already unwell. Staff members will also be wearing masks whenever they pass through, patient areas.
This decision has been made as a Practice, which includes admin and clinical staff, and we ask that you respect all staff at the surgery who may remind you to wear your mask.
Thank you.
