During this outbreak of Covid-19 (Coronavirus) the safety and health of our patients is our top priority. We are offering telephone and video consultations during this time.
However useful video and telephone consultations are at this time we will always arrange a face to face consultation to confirm the diagnosis and procedure prior to any invasive procedures being performed. This will always take place in a covid secure facility.
