On Thursday 28 May, the Government announced that dental practices could open for face to face appointments from Monday 8 June, provided the appropriate PPE (personal protective equipment), procedures and training are in place.
PREPARING FOR REOPENING
We have been working hard behind the scenes to plan for the reopening of the practice, refining robust procedures to ensure our team and our patients are as protected as possible. We appreciate some of you are anxious to be seen as soon as possible, however we kindly ask you to bear with us and understand that we cannot open until we are fully prepared.
PRIORITISING PATIENTS IN PAIN
You will appreciate there are significant changes in the numbers of patients who can be seen and types of appointments that can be undertaken, particularly in these early days. Therefore we will need to prioritise patients who have a dental emergency and are in pain and have already been triaged by Dr Bolton. We have a significant number of patients in need whom we will see as soon as we are able.
