Coronavirus (COVID-19) Update
The Scottish Government requires General Practice and other healthcare settings to have different infection control and physical distancing guidance to other places such as hospitals and shops. This is to help reduce the risk to practice staff and to people attending the practice who may be at greater risk if they catch Covid 19. Please support your local practice team by complying with this guidance.
The following guidance applies in the practice at this time:
- wearing of face coverings by patients and the public is encouraged (unless you are exempt)
- contact your practice by telephone in the first instance where possible
- wearing of PPE by staff
- screening for Covid 19 symptoms for patients who are booking in for face to face appointments
