Anyone that has had symptoms of Covid-19 or has had a positive test needs to be aware that there may be lasting damage to the lungs or heart even if they have only had a mild case!
It is essential that you allow adequate travelling time to arrive punctually. Arriving late may mean that your assessment over-runs the following appointment and it is not fair to keep others waiting due to your fault. If you are likely to be late then you should telephone us to discuss whether your assessment can still proceed.
Payment is due at the
medical assessment.
Payment may be made by
cash, cheque, or
Bank transfer
