🔥Fire Drill🔥
We apologise if any patients were cut off by our fire alarm. We try to ensure they have as little impact as possible, but to ensure they are realistic they have to be conducted during a normal working day. These drills are vital to make sure we can keep patients as safe as possible if the worst was to happen. Thank you for your understanding.
