To our patients and people bringing patients to appointments:

Please continue to wear a mask when coming to the clinic for any reason.

If you forget your mask at home, one will be provided to you on arrival.

As a healthcare facility there are people in the clinic at all times who are at higher risk of getting an infection from other people.  Covid -19 is still present in the community and often people have no signs of infection. To prevent introduction and spread of Covid-19 in the clinic, we ask that everyone continue to wear a mask to protect yourself and others.

Who is at higher risk of infection?

There are lots of people who may have weaker immune systems and if they get Covid, have a higher chance of getting very sick and needing to be admitted to hospital.

Some of these people include:

-newborn babies

-women who are pregnant

-anybody who has not received or are not able to receive a Covid vaccine (eg children under 5 years old)

-people with diabetes, heart problems, or lung problems

-people who are undergoing cancer treatment, or take medications for autoimmune conditions

If you cannot wear a mask when coming to the clinic, please call the clinic before you come because we might need to rebook your appointment so that we can prepare a room properly to protect yourself, other patients and the clinic staff who will be seeing you.

Thank you for your cooperation.
