It is important that when patients have an appointment or visit the practice that they wear a face covering that covers the nose and mouth.

Face coverings can help contain the Coronavirus, especially when social distancing measures cannot be maintained.  This applies when people have to visit a clinician as it will help us protect our staff and other patients.

The Government have provided information and guidance on how and when face coverings should be used and this includes a useful guide on how people can make their own covering, please click here for more information 

By following these measures local people can help protect themselves and others as we continue to manage the pandemic in Saddleworth.
