We look forward to welcoming you into the Practice. We continue to work under the guidance of The College of Optometrists, Association of Optometrists and NHS England. Restrictions have been further relaxed recently.

• Face covering is optional for patients. We will provide a mask if you would like one,
• Advise us prior to attending if you or anyone in your home feels unwell or there is a suspicion of COVID-19 (Symptoms may include fever, cough, loss of taste, bad cold, runny nose, headache & sore throat),
• Please bring to our attention when making your appointment if you are clinically extremely vulnerable,
• Children to be accompanied by only one parent/guardian preferably,
• Please follow the health and safety advice of the team as you move around the building,
• We ask that you observe social distancing where possible with regard to our support staff and other patients,
