What restrictions will look like at Somerhill from 19th July
For the time being there will be no changes here at the Practice. Patients coming to the surgery will still need to wear a mask, use the hand sanitiser and socially distance. Our staff will continue to wear appropriate PPE.
We have made this decision as patients coming to the practice are often vulnerable and may be unvaccinated due to medical reasons. So we feel that these precautions will help protect everyone. We also need to protect our staff from catching COVID so we can keep a functioning service, so for this reason alone these measures are vital.
Our appointments will continue as they are now. It is worth noting that we are still restricted by fallow time and may not be able to offer you an appointment immediately and in some cases there may be several weeks wait for a suitable slot. Our doors will continue to remain open as they have done throughout the pandemic.
We hope you will understand why we need to continue with these measures and keep the practice as safe for everyone as we can. We have all come so far in trying to minimise the impact of COVID, let’s continue to stay safe together.
Thank you for your understanding and support as always.

COVID-19 Update 10/06/2020
We are pleased to announce a phased return to practise from 15th June 2020. As you'd expect we have a clear pandemic plan and will be following additional protocols to ensure our reopening is safe and effective for both staff and patients.
After 12 weeks of closure, we're sure you can appreciate that we have a substantial number of patients who need urgent care and whilst we'd love to see everyone as soon as we can, we will of course prioritise those patients experiencing acute dental pain and have been triaged by the practice during lockdown.

Thereafter we will be contacting patients to re establish their regular routine appointments and patients that are mid treatment - please bear with us in the interim. We will still be offering a triage service to all patients so please do contact the practice if you have any problems.
Your patient journey will look a little different in the early days of reopening, so please have a look at the video below.
This as we hope you can appreciate is the last thing we will want to do. Caring for and looking after our patients is what we are all about, but we must adhere to the guidance for the safety of us all and those that are vulnerable around us. We will all miss you and hope to see you soon. If you have any concerns, please give us a ring and we will do what we can to help and advise.
Please see below list of self help strategies We must also ask that you do not turn up to the practice without a confirmed appointment time, and make all contact by telephone or email.
In the meantime, please keep safe and look out for further communication from us!
