In light of the current COVID-19 Pandemic, we seek your understanding that additional persons within the practice are kept to a minimum number. Carers, dependents and a partner for a pregnancy scan are excluded from this.
If you need moral support or other assistance in anyway please speak to the team at the time of making a booking so we can try to accommodate you best.
More than one additional person in the examination room may cause crowding and prevent the technologist from doing their job properly, there may also be additional safety reasons why your support person cannot stay with you the entire time. Our aim however is to always make you as comfortable as possible.
Generally accompanying persons are not permitted in the room for interventional procedures. If you have a particular need please discuss this prior to booking the procedure
While we recognise care for young children can sometimes be difficult to coordinate, it is not normally suitable to have young children in the examination room. Where possible we recommend you bring a friend or relative to watch your children if they need to attend with you.
We recognise that for pregnancy ultrasounds you may wish to have more than one family member with you, such as your partner, parents and other children. We will accommodate one additional person but request you respect any request made by the sonographer at the time of your appointment if numbers need to be limited past that.
