Covid Restriction Update – July 2021
Throughout the pandemic here at Oakhill we have strived to keep our patients and staff as safe as possible and we will continue to do so moving forward.
From the 19th July 2021 nothing will change at the surgery, we will still require you to wear a face covering, adhere to social distancing and use the hand sanitiser provided. Clinical staff will also still be wearing PPE (Personal Protective Equipment). This can be frustrating to some patients who maybe attending for routine appointments but other patients are sick and clinically vulnerable, so we need to take precautions to protect all patients.
As you are aware here at Oakhill we have never been 'shut' throughout the pandemic and continue to provide a service to our patients.
Thank you for your co-operation.
From all the partners at Oakhill.
Mental Wellbeing During Covid-19
COVID-19 means we are all experiencing an unprecedented situation. Everyone reacts differently, and we will have periods where we find it more difficult to deal with. It’s okay not to feel okay. Talking to someone can often help.
Visit NHS Every Mind Matters for advice, practice advice and support groups.
If you cannot wait to see a doctor and feel unable to cope or keep yourself safe, it’s important to get support.
