An infectious disease is one caused by an organism, ranging in size from viruses to parasitic worms. Infectious diseases can be transmitted directly (eg. through droplet infection) between people or indirectly (eg. through contaminated food or water) through the environment. Infection can also result from the pathological growth of organisms already present in a person’s body.

Steps to Minimise Spread of Infection
Please let our staff know when you are making your booking if you think that you have an infectious disease, and come straight to reception so that our staff can comfortably seat you away from other patients to minimise the spread of infection.
Note: Medical Certificates can only be provided on the day and can’t be back-dated. So if you are ill and cannot attend work, you must see a Doctor on the day.
