Easing Covid-19 Restrictions

From 19th July 2021 the government is easing all remaining restrictions in England, including mandatory mask-wearing and social distancing requirements. The government has also said that ‘just because you don’t have to wear masks and socially distance; it doesn’t mean you shouldn’t continue to do so.’

Here at The Riley Dental Studio we will continue to be very cautious and we will be maintaining our existing Covid safe protocols that aim to keep you, other patients, our team and the wider community as safe as possible. This has been our aim throughout the pandemic and remains essential during the current situation of rapidly rising infections.

We will continue to treat all patients as if they are infected and the strict protocols for the protection of patients, clinicians, and team members will remain in place.

Masks – All patients and visitors to our practice, clinicians and team members must continue to wear an appropriate mask at all times in the practice. Face coverings are a public health protection measure largely intended to help protect others. Help us to help you.

Hand sanitising will still be required on arrival and immediately after direct contact with any surfaces within our premises.

Social distancing – for at least until the end of August 2021, we will continue to have a locked door policy so that we can control the number of people in our building at any one time. Please be patient with us. These control measures are in place for the continued health & safety of you, other patients and our staff.

This remains an evolving situation and Team Riley look forward to your continued co-operation.

If you are in any doubt about being infected with Covid-19, please discuss this with us as soon as you can prior to your appointment.
