Mask wearing in health care- the mandate for wearing face masks in health care facilities has been removed.

However, if you have cold and flu symptoms we require you to wear a mask. Please inform the reception staff when you call to make an appointment if you have these symptoms and please do a RATs test before you come to your appointment.
It is recommend you isolate for 5 days if you do have Covid 19 and if you are visiting a health care facility or rest home to wear a face mask for 10 days from onset of symptoms.
We are available for phone consultations.
IMPORTANT Please phone for a COVID swab if any cold/flu symptoms.
We are no longer providing Covid vaccinations at the clinic. If you would like to organise your booster vaccine, please call 0800 282 926 to arrange.
