Coronavirus (COVID-19) – information update
Coronavirus (COVID-19)
It is no longer mandatory for staff and patients to wear a face covering in our Outpatients Departments. It is now a personal choice and we will continue to provide masks for those who would like to wear one. Clinical staff may still wear a mask during some diagnostic tests
We have made a range of adjustments in our Outpatients Departments to ensure that patients can attend appointments in safety. We have also introduced phone and video consultations where appropriate. If you have any questions about your appointment, please call us on 01306 735 459.
