COVID Update July 2022- Reintroduction of masks

 Due to the increasing number of COVID cases we have decided to reintroduce mask wearing throughout the practice for staff and patients for the safety of our patients and our team. 

• All patients will continue to be screened using the patient portal and in person on arrival

• Patients that have symptoms of a respiratory illness will be classed as high risk. These patients will need to be deferred if non urgent. If urgent, the patient would be seen in a designated appointment and segregated from patients and staff. They will be treated using enhanced PPE. 

• Staff will continue to take lateral flow tests twice a week

The COVID risk will be regularly reviewed and measures updated with the priority of everyone’s safety in mind. 

Thank you for your understanding
