If you have made an appointment and have a cough, cold, fever or shortness of breath, we ask on arrival you call us and wait in your car for further advice from the Doctor. Please avoid bringing extra family members to your appointment unless it is necessary. We ask you use the hand sanitiser supplied at the front door. Thank you for your cooperation.
