*Covid 19 - update*
To all our wonderful staff and 20,000 patients. From this Friday morning onwards and throughout the rest of the lockdown period, we will be offering advice and will treat genuine emergencies on a triaged basis only. This is for the safety of our staff and our patients as directed by the government.
You might be asking “why are you taking such action”?
The reasons are twofold. We agree wholeheartedly that staff and patients should all be staying at home as directed by the government. We are also in unprecedented times, and as dental care professionals, the advice from our professional bodies is that we need to exercise extreme caution given that the virus thrives on mucosal surfaces (such as inside the mouth, inside the nostrils etc). Whilst we treat diseases every day, generally over 300 times per day across our practices, we are now dealing with a pandemic virus which has so far claimed tens of thousands of lives globally. So our request to you is that you observe the 3 week ‘lockdown’, and unless you have an emergency, please try to relax at home and take a breather.
As we will be operating an emergency only service from this Friday until just after Easter (or beyond if directed by the government and by our professional bodies), then please take the advice of our team if you phone/ email us during this period. Whatever your concerns, we are still on hand to help you.
This is such a difficult situation for all of us. And as practices, we have been looking after our patients for over 70 years without interruption. We would ask you all to continue to support us as a practice throughout these unprecedented times. You have our promise that we will continue to support you in whichever way we can. All our professions and livelihoods now more than ever rely on goodwill and understanding.
We’re all in this together.
Love and best wishes
