Masks or face-coverings are still recommended in our practice – please bring your own if you have one. If you have any cold or flu symptoms, we prefer you book a telehealth (phone or video) appointment rather than come in. If you have symptoms and you do require a face-to-face appointment, we request you wear a mask and you will need to produce a negative RAT test. Please also note that the removal of COVID isolation rules is impacting our resources and we are needing to prioritise acutely unwell patients as well as care and advice for COVID patients. This may result in some delays and a shortage of routine and non-urgent appointments. We apologise for any inconvenience and thank you for your support.
