Practice Guidelines and Attending your Appointment

Remember, coronavirus COVID-19 infection usually occurs through close contact with a person with coronavirus via a cough, sneeze or hand contact.  A person can also be infected by touching contaminated surfaces if they do not wash their hands.

At the clinic we are committed to keeping it clean and are wiping surfaces, door handles etc regularly.  We have provided alcohol based anti-bacterial gel and we invite you to use this whilst in the waiting area.

Please have a look at the NHS link below.
