Door control

We have placed a doorbell on the front door. Patients will be required push the button and wait for staff to allow them to enter. The door will remain locked at all other times. The button will be sterilized after use.

Physical distancing

If you find yourself in the building for whatever reason please ensure you are following physical distancing policies. Keep your distance from others (1.6m); do not contact others if it can be avoided (no handshakes, hugs etc); attend alone if possible.

​

Opening Hours

As we are navigating the ongoing pandemic it is not always possible to maintain regular hours of availability.

​The below opening hours will vary at times as staff can become unavailable unpredictably.

​

We apologize for the inconvenience this will cause. Please remain patient and understanding with us while we navigate this situation together.
