COVID RESTRICTION UPDATE:
Throughout the pandemic we have strived to make the surgery as safe as possible for all our patients and staff.
We will continue to do so going forward.
Patients with respiratory symptoms who are required to attend for emergency treatment because of covid symptoms MUST wear a mask.
For all other Patients it is again a requirement to wear a mask due to the rapidly increasing number of covid infections.
Staff and Clinicians will also be wearing masks.
We do understand that it can be frustrating but we know that when people come to us they are sick and vulnerable (and some cannot receive the covid vaccinations due to medical reasons) so we feel it would be wrong to not take these small precautions that can protect people.
In terms of opening up, as many of you know, we have never been shut and in fact have consulted with much higher numbers of patients than we did pre-covid ( face to face, by phone, by e-consult and by video), not counting vaccinating over 90% of the adult population over the last year.
Abbey Surgery has come so far in trying to minimise the impact of Covid and we are sure you understand that we need to keep the surgery as safe for ALL patients as we can.
