Mask Use

We are currently seeing a significant increase in cases of COVID-19, influenza, and other respiratory infections in the community. To help keep everyone safe, we kindly ask that:

  • If you have any respiratory symptoms (such as a cough, cold, or sore throat), please consider wearing a mask when attending the practice.
  • If you arrive without a mask, we are happy to provide one for you.

Please note that in our local area, it is currently compulsory to wear a mask in hospital settings as part of infection prevention measures. While this is not a legal requirement in GP practices, taking similar precautions can help protect vulnerable patients and reduce the spread of infections.

Thank you for your understanding and for helping us maintain a safe environment for everyone.
