DO NOT TURN UP AT EITHER SURGERY WITHOUT CONTACTING US BY PHONE FIRST.
Please use reception@ardmorevets.co.uk and dispensary@ardmorevets.co.uk for non-urgent queries and medication orders
We are currently back to face to face appointments, but some appointments may be done remotely over the phone or via Skype if necessary (for isolating clients, for example).
FOR APPOINTMENTS AT THE SURGERIES PLEASE FOLLOW THE ADVICE AS BELOW: - DO NOT to come to the practice if you are self isolating, or you or one of your family are unwell (have a fever or cough) or have potentially been in contact with an individual that has tested positive to COVID-19. Or have been to a high risk area. This puts others at risk. If your pet needs to be seen please contact the surgery so we can work together to find a safe solution. - Please remember the general advice to wash your hands often and maintain social distancing. Wash your hands before and after coming to the practice and keep the 2metre social distancing when speaking with the member of staff dealing with you. - Let our reception team know that you have arrived for an arranged appointment or arranged medication collection by making a quick phone call from your car. The vet will then speak to you over the phone or come out to you when your appointment is due. They will speak to you about your pets problem before taking your pet into the practice whilst you wait in your car. We will return your pet and any medication once they have been examined and any in-consult treatment given. We are spacing appointments to reduce numbers at the surgery at any one time. - Payment will be done over the phone at the end of the consultation. REGARDING MEDICATION AND FOOD: - Please plan ahead particularly if you have a pet on long term medication. We are not anticipating supply issues but please try not to leave orders to less than a week before medications run out in case there are any delays. There is no need to 'bulk buy', we are unable to honour those orders and that would lead to shortages. -Ideally email orders for medication to dispensary@ardmorevets.co.uk for the Sudbury branch or yeldham@ardmorevets.co.uk for the Yeldham branch with your name, your pet's name, your address, the medication amount and current dose you are giving. Payment can be done over the phone when orders are ready or at collection time. Medications and food are then collected from the box outside the reception door to minimise unnecessary contact.
Finally, we appreciate the adjustments in the way we have to work provides considerable change and inconvenience to all. We would like to thank you for your consideration both to our staff and to others attending our practice you have shown in the last few months of this outbreak. We will carry on offering the very best care and service that we possibly can for you and your pets. Take care, From all at Ardmore Vets
