It goes without saying that we always take hygiene infection/control very seriously. We are taking preventative measures to ensure that all of our patients and staff are protected from the Coronavirus.
Here’s what else we are doing:
- Implementing pandemic viral infection policy for staff
- Refreshed training for all staff on infection control
- Placed awareness notices for patients inside and outside the practice
As a reminder, the single most important preventative measures remain as:
- Using tissues when sneezing which can then be disposed of.
- Frequent and thorough washing of hands
Common symptoms of the Coronavirus include:
- High temperature or fever
- Cough
- Shortness of breath
We ask that if you have any of the above symptoms or are concerned that you may have been exposed to the Coronavirus, then please do contact us to arrange an alternative appointment.
