| Dear Patients, Customers and Friends Firstly, we hope this email finds you well amidst some difficult and challenging times for us all. With heavy hearts we want to let you know that due to the government announcement at the beginning of the week in relation to the Covid-19 outbreak, the Practice is now closed for routine appointments until the advice changes. However, during the closure, we are still able to provide essential optical care for all our current patients. This will be provided in the form of a contact lens or spectacle telephone review. All calls to the practice will undergo a robust triage process. We will support you where we can in a safe and responsible way by sending frames and lenses via the post. Please contact Jo on 07512 642 279 as opposed to calling the normal shop number. We are also able to continue to provide primary emergency eyecare, again via the telephone triage process. This service is available to everybody, not just existing patients, specifically including vitally important keyworkers who we would like to support in any way we can during these unprecedented times.Any other emergency eye treatment should be undertaken at the Manchester Eye Hospital emergency department. Contact details: https://mft.nhs.uk/royal-eye/services/emergency/ Tel: 0161 276 5597 Thank you for your patience in this difficult time and your understanding of the measures the government has put in place to protect everyone. We are committed to supporting the community, and with your continued support we will be back in the blink of an eye. Please stay safe during this period and we wish you and your family the best. Jo and the team |
