So……I’ve been off isolating after getting a positive PCR test on the routine weekly check I have done for my NHS work. It was a total bolt from the blue, as I am totally asymptomatic, and would not know had I not been tested. I test once a week and never thought anything of it until I woke up to a message from NHS Test+Trace. Worryingly I had done LFT’s both before and after the PCR test which had been negative. I am thankful for the triple/booster I had in October.

Any patient directly affected by this news has already been contacted, but if you are worried please don’t hesitate to call me.

Having had 10 unscheduled days off and needing to rearrange everyone, I have now opened up appointments for existing patients/follow ups on 24th, 29th and 31st December 2021.

The websiite has already been updated with the 2022 fee rise, but I will of course honour any appointment displaced into January at the 2021 rate, if you aren’t able or would prefer to wait until after Christmas.

I am sorry but due to this the priority is getting existing patients seen and I will not be able to put any new patients on the waiting list until the 5th January 2022.

Happy Christmas all,

Hilary
