Important Notice – Mask Wearing in the Surgery

Due to a rise in flu and other winter infections locally and nationally, the BSol ICB Infection Prevention and Control team recommends that all GP practices ask both staff and patients to wear masks (unless clinically inappropriate) while in the surgery.

This measure is in place to help protect everyone, particularly those who are more vulnerable, and aligns with guidance from UKHSA, NHS England, and other local healthcare providers.

We appreciate your understanding and cooperation in keeping our community safe.
