We recommend the following:
Triage
Reducing the spread of Respiratory Illness in our community is essential and part of this is having an effective triage system when attending a doctor’s surgery.
This ensures we make the most appropriate type of appointment for you, whilst reducing the risk of spreading Respiratory Illness to others.
When you phone to make an appointment and on arrival at the clinic for your appointment, you will be asked a series of questions by our dedicated reception team.
These questions are updated as required. They may include:
Personal Protective Equipment
The main value of wearing a mask is to protect other people. If used correctly, masks may prevent sick people from infecting others.
This is of particular importance because many patients with Respiratory Illness have NO symptoms or very mild symptoms and respiratory illness/airborne
Illness can be highly contagious.
Wearing a face mask is also a very community-minded and selfless practice which can help to protect you and others around you.
