Our priority is to keep our patients and our staff safe during this time.  The guidance for healthcare settings states that Covid-19 Safety measures should remain the same, so we ask patients to follow the below rules:

• Face coverings to be worn when in the surgery
• 2 metre distancing (or 1 metre plus) when in the surgery
• Please use the hand gel provided when attending the surgery
• Patients should not attend more than 5 minutes before their appointment time – if you attend early, you will be asked to wait outside or in your car until your appointment time.

• www.nhs.uk/conditions/coronavirus-covid-19/coronavirus-vaccination/vaccination-status-for-travelling-abroad

1. NHSapp - see www.nhsapp.service.nhs.uk/login
2. Online - at covid-status.service.nhsx.nhs.uk
3. Calling 119 - NHS helpline to request letter in post
