Summerley Dental Practice will be opening from Monday 8th June 2020.
This will only be for a limited range of treatments.
Our re-opening will therefore need to be undertaken in a controlled and safe way. What is clear is that we will not be able to operate as we did before the lockdown and there will be limited capacity during the early re-opening phase. Please understand that this is influenced by the availability of appropriate PPE, the increase in the length of time needed between patients as well as the need to maintain adequate social distancing. Your safety is our main concern in this phased re-opening.
With this in mind, we will need to prioritise who we initially see, and this will be assessed fairly and based upon the clinical need. We anticipate a gradual increase in appointment volume and types of procedure as PPE becomes more widely available and staff become more experienced with the new operational procedures. Of course, we aim to see all of our patients as soon as we possibly can and will be working as hard as we can to achieve this. Please bear in mind that there is a 3-month backlog of patients and you are all precious to us! We seek your understanding and patience in the meantime.
We will be regularly updating all our patients with developments and will be posting on Facebook. Over the coming weeks we will be phoning you to arrange your next appointment. We kindly ask that if possible, you do not call the practice but email any concerns or enquiries. We promise we will respond to them!
Prior to seeing us we will be emailing you a mandatory Covid-19 screening questionnaire. It is essential that this is completed and emailed back within 24 hours prior to your visit.
