Coronavirus (COVID-19) update

We are pleased to announce that we are fully operational offering both "face to face" and remote consultations depending on patient preference and clinical need.

Although public guidelines changed on the 19th July 2021 we have decided to continue as we are with our rigorous approach to infection control providing protection for both patients and our staff.

Attendance at the clinic is still dependant on a satisfactory Covid-19 screening and the wearing of a face mask.

We continue to follow the guidelines created by Public Health England and our national governing body.
