FACE MASKS ARE MANDATORY
To protect yourself, other patients and our staff, please wear a face mask to any attendance at the surgery. If you are exempt from wearing a mask, please press the buzzer and you will be asked to wait in your car/outside until it is safe to see you.
There are extremely high levels of COVID in the local area so we would encourage everyone to work together to stay safe.
