Pre-appointment confirmation phonecall

We may call you before your appointment

This is to confirm the time of your appointment and check you are not symptomatic. If you’ve got an appointment booked, but you’re not feeling well or you have any COVID-19 symptoms, we’d ask that you don’t come in until you’re feeling better. We’ll make sure to arrange for a later date. 

We strongly advise you attend all appointments on your own but if this is not possible, please inform our staff prior to attending.
