Pre-appointment

We will need to conduct a medical history and a pre-visit COVID 19 assessment to ensure we can treat you safely before you arrive at PADC.

PPE

As per new Government guidelines, face coverings will be mandatory in public spaces from Friday 24th July 2020.

This means that all patients must come to the practice already wearing their own mask or face covering.

We will not be able to provide masks due to a shortage of our own PPE stocks. All staff will also be wearing appropriate PPE to ensure your safety.

Protective screens and contactless payment

We have installed perspex screens in front of our reception desk. This is to keep our patients and staff safe when checking in/out or booking appointments at PADC.

To keep you safe we request you to use contactless or card payment instead of cash wherever possible.

Social distancing

Our door will be closed and locked so please wait outside the front door just before your appointment time until we let you in.

We have adjusted our waiting areas and allowed greater times between appointments to reduce the number of patients in the building in order to help maintain safe social distancing.

Essential hygiene and Infection Control

You must clean your hands using the anti bacterial gel provided as soon as you enter the Practice .

PADC follows up to date new infection control guidelines made by our governing bodies. We are performing deeper, thorough and more frequent cleans – especially in our surgeries. These are scheduled throughout the day to fit around appointments.
