COVID-19 safety for patients

We have in place strict COVID-19 safety measures, which ensure social distancing and cleanliness, for your safety and comfort when you visit us.

We aim to reduce the risk of transmission of coronavirus within the clinic and the community. The clinic environment is spacious with large rooms on two and a half floors, giving ample space for social distancing.

We provide a personalised service for each patient.

Unlike a busy NHS Hospital, we have only a small number of people at a time in the building.

Please note:

• Staff tested a minimum of twice weekly for COVID-19.
• Staff wear PPE masks, and for procedures wear PPE scrubs and gloves.

Your responsibilities:

• PLEASE: We are grateful to you for arranging your own antigen Lateral Flow Test 24 hours prior to attending your consultation, treatment or surgery.
• Please inform reception as soon as possible if you cannot attend because of COVID-19 infection.
• If you do not feel quite right on the day of your planned attendance or 24 to 48 hours beforehand, please arrange an antigen test LFT via your pharmacy or the Government website, they are free. https://www.gov.uk/order-coronavirus-rapid-lateral-flow-tests
