Book an appointment

Here is a summary of the recently updated COVID mask policy for healthcare settings, including Bideford Medical Centre, as of June 2022:

​

  • Patients are no longer required to wear a face covering (but are welcome to wear one as a personal preference)

  • Patients who attend with suspected COVID or respiratory symptoms should wear a mask or face covering if tolerated

  • Healthcare staff will continue to wear masks where there is a risk of COVID-19 transmission or the patient is vulnerable / has reduced immunity

  • Healthcare staff will also put on a mask if the patient makes a reasonable request for them to do so

  • We will continue to use social distancing in the surgery to help patients flow through the practice and reduce disease transmission
