We are open and you are safe.
Yes, Smales Farm is open and it is safe for you to come and see us.
We are business as usual, open 24 hours, 7 days a week, albeit with a few extra precautions in place for your safety and ours.
First you'll note our rather large tent outside our front doors. Here you will be screened by a clinician who will assess if it is safe for you to enter our premises or not.
You may taken into a room straight away, popped in our waiting room which has been given a social distancing makeover, or even asked to return to your car.
You'll spot our receptionists are protected behind perspex screens and are taking patient details by phone rather than face to face contact.
As an added protection we are not taking any cash or cheque payments at the moment. Please note that we have PayWave payments available on our machines or we can invoice to be paid online.
So please if you find yourself in need of urgent medical or accident care, pop in and see us at Smales Farm.
Poll: Do you think banning gang patches is reasonable?
With the government cracking down on gangs, it is now illegal for gang members to display their insignia in public places whether through clothing or their property.
This means arrests can be made if these patches are worn in places like restaurants, shops, on public transport or ferries, and on airplanes. Arrests were made recently at a funeral.
