“At the moment we are currently not accepting new patients. However this policy is constantly being reviewed and we have a new patient waiting list.
I understand your concerns [regarding mitigations for CEV patients], the practice would be able to accommodate opening the window and the use of an air filter but unfortunately not all of our nurses were with us during covid so they dont all have FFP3 masks.”
Including in the directory as the approach seems very positive, would need clarifying when booking but it seems some dentists still have FFP3 masks and the usual healthcare misconception that because someone has not been fit tested for a FFP3 that wearing a FFP3 is not an option – where the alternative is a non fit tested and not filtering mask – ie worth having the discussion.
