Updated Mask Policy
As from the 10th July 2023 we have updated our mask policy at Angel Lane Surgery.
Patients who have any respiratory symptoms (coughs, wheezing, etc.) should continue to wear facemasks / face coverings, if tolerated, when coming into any of our buildings. This is for the safety of our other patients, our staff and our community.
If you are Covid-19 positive please do not come into the surgery, unless specifically invited in by a clinician.
Patients without respiratory symptoms or who are Covid-19 negative no longer need to wear facemasks when coming in for an appointment, unless this is their personal preference.
In addition, GP and surgery staff are now not required to wear facemasks, unless it is their personal preference.
If you would like your Clinician to wear a face mask during your consultation please ask them to do so.
Please could you continue to use the hand sanitisers, locations are in reception and next to the checking in machine.
