Keeping COVID safe within our buildings September 2022
As a surgery both patients and clinicians have had to adapt their working on a day to day basis to help protect both patients and staff. We thank all our patients and colleagues for their cooperation in such challenging times. It is now patient choice to wear a face mask in the surgery.
We ask that unless you have booked a face to face appointment that you still continue to use our other methods of contact for prescriptions, booking and general enquiries.
Thank you
The Partners, Unsworth Group Practice
