Important Covid Update

Saturday 9th January

Yes, we are open, and will be open throughout the current lockdown period 

Current guidelines are that we should be prioritising essential eyecare over more routine 

appointments, but it is perfectly possible to book a routine check up if you wish

We are doing our utmost to ensure your safety whilst in the practice - we all wear PPE and practice 

social distancing, we have extensive perspex screening, we do remote frame and lens 

measurements, surfaces are regularly disinfected and all staff currently have 2 covid tests every 

week

If you (or anyone in your household) currently have any Covid 19 symptoms, please DO NOT come in to the practice

People who are currently 'Shielding' or self-isolating should not attend the practice

If you have any doubts or queries, please do not hesitate to give us a ring

Our hours will be as normal, ie 9.00am - 5.15pm Mon-Sat, but to make a visit as safe as possible 

the practice will be running with minimal staff, so bear with us if there is a delay in appointment 

availability, answering 'phone calls and replying to emails

If you have an urgent problem / concern with your sight or the health of your eyes, please call the 

Minor Eye Conditions Service (MECS) on 01743 297027, 01772 717167, Mon-Fri 9.00am - 5.00pm, or 

email chec.stoptom@nhs.net 

Thankyou for your help and understanding. This has been, and still is, a very difficult time for 

everyone, but we hope you manage to stay healthy, and very much look forward to seeing you 

soon

Best wishes from Joe, Alison and all the Staff
