Covid-19 Announcement - What's happening at Sloan Medical Centre after 19 July 2021

Please be advised after the 19 July we will be continuing with our current Covid-19 procedures which are-

• All patients to wear face coverings on our premises unless an exemption card can be produced. Patients not wearing a face covering or not producing an exemption card will not be allowed entry

• Entry will only be permitted 10 minutes before your appointment, you will not be allowed entry any earlier

• While on the premises please continue to social distance and keep you face covering over your nose and mouth at all times

• All patients will be triaged at the front door as they have been over the last 18 months

The reason we are continuing with these cautionary procedures is due to an expected rise in infections rates in Sheffield from the 19 July and the introduction of foreign holiday travel etc.

We would like to apologise to all our patients, but we hope you understand we must guarantee the safety of all our patients and the staff that are continuing to see patients in the medical centre.

This policy will be reviewed towards the end of August.

Coming out of lockdown
We would like to inform our patient population that from the 7 June 2021 we will start to provide more pre-bookable appointments for patients to book in advance and at a time that best suits you.

Our nursing team are already providing face to face appointments and are providing a full pre-pandemic service apart from Spirometry which will return as soon as guidelines allow.

Our doctors will also provide more face to face appointments for certain patient conditions from the 7 June.

The above is a gradual phased return for us getting back to providing normal services again while continuing with some of the systems that have worked well for some patients over the Pandemic such as, telephone and video appointments.

Sadly, we are unable to open the main entrance at the moment and will continue to allow entry after speaking to the receptionist over the intercom. This is to ensure we triage everyone before entry. Personal details will not be taken outside, you will be allowed entry before being asked for them.

We are monitoring the Indian variant and will take the appropriate steps in future to make sure we keep patients and staff safe at all times.

We hope this is the start to our Medical Centre transitioning from a lockdown situation to getting back to how things were pre-pandemic, or as close as possible.

Thank you
