Ensuring your safety at our Practice
We are very pleased to be able to welcome you back into our practice but in order to do so, we have to make sure that you and our staff are safe.
We have put into place a number of precautions which we have highlighted on this page. We hope this may prepare you for when you visit us. Whilst things are not the same at the moment, we will do everything we can to help you access our services safely.
We are now also offering all patients, at time of booking, a full examination including OCT and optomap as using these technologies help us to keep close proximity to patients to a minimum which helps with our safety measures.
