Patient Face Coverings

Posted on May 22nd, 2020

Please see below the latest guidance from NHS England regarding Personal Protective Equipment (PPE).

Patients should be asked to wear a face covering to attend the surgery for face-2-face during consultations, as this is in line with government advice about face covering in public spaces where social distancing is difficult.

PPE is a limited resource, therfore the Practice cannot provide it for patients.  Ultimately, if we run out and supply stops, we can’t provide any face-2-face consultations.
