Practice Update - 29/05/2020

To All our Patients, Customers, Friends and Family,

The Chief Dental Officer has now announced that dental practices across England will be allowed to begin the process of reopening for all emergency and routine face to face dental care from Monday 8 June.

During the pandemic, and before, we have always had the wellbeing of our patients and colleagues at the heart of what we do and this continues to be the case. At Cornhill Dental Practice we will only be reopening once we are satisfied that our service is safe and we have all the necessary processes and personal protective equipment (PPE) in place.

We are working through the detail of this as quickly as possible, only being given the go ahead at 5.30pm last night (28^th May 2020) and will inform you with more information as soon as it is available to us.

Please can we ask that you do not contact the Practice for appointment bookings at this stage as we are not in a position, at present, to know in what capacity we will be able to reopen. Rest assured if you have had an appointment postponed, or are due a routine appointment soon, you have not been forgotten and we will be contacted you as soon as we are able.

If you need advice, or if you are in need of urgent dental treatment, you should continue to contact the practice in the usual way and we will be happy to help.

We understand this may be frustrating to some however we can assure that we will have the practice up and running again as soon as PPE has been made available and full legislation has been issued.

We are determined to support patients who need care as quickly as possible and will be opening the practice to provide further treatments as soon as we are safely able to do so. We will keep you fully informed throughout this process.

Thank you so much for your understanding at this time and your patience over that past few months.

Kind regards

Cornhill Dental Practice
