COVID GUIDELINES UPDATE

Due to changes in guidelines patients are no longer obligated to wear a face covering when attending the surgery. 

The exception to this would be those with a fever or temperature, who should wear a mask to protect the vulnerable.

If you have a high risk condition, our advice is still to wear a mask for your own protection.
