LOCATED IN ASHBOURNE IN THE PEAK DISTRICT
COVID19 Update
As you know, we have been closed, on the instructions of the Chief Dental Officer for England, Sara Hurley, since late March. We were told that we were to provide no face to face consultations or any treatment until further notice. Since then we have been monitoring the situation very closely, waiting for instruction and advice on how, and when, we would be allowed to resume our clinical practice. Various dates have been proposed since lockdown began, most leading the dentists to believe it might be the beginning of July.
You may have seen on the coronavirus update with the PM on 28th May that dental practices can re-open from 8th June. You may be surprised to discover that the dental profession found this out at the same time as everyone else on that tv programme! This has come as a total surprise with no prior communication from the government or Department of Health as to when we could reopen our practices to patients.
Whilst we would love to reopen our doors immediately, this date is impractical for most dental practices. We have been working hard during lockdown to try and be prepared for relaunch, but government guidance on measures we should be taking to protect our patients and staff has been (and still is) constantly changing and in short supply. Also in short supply is the personal protective equipment we need to use. We are now trying hard to ensure that, when we open, we have everything we need for, and our staff are fully trained in, the measures we must follow to adhere to the strict social-distancing and infection control expected of us. We will be opening as soon as we can.
Please bear with us in this. This has come as a complete surprise to everyone, especially to the dental profession. We will be letting our patients know, here and by email, when we are going to be reopening. Should you have a dental emergency during this time, please continue to use our emergency number, 07768 391375, for further help and assistance.
