Even though you don't need a face covering in a public setting, you still need one when accessing NHS services. We are reminding visitors to site to continue to wear surgical masks and observe social distancing, as well as to wash their hands regularly. Thank you.

This is a really important message: Please continue to wear your face masks when accessing any healthcare and if you require healthcare at home please wear a mask while the teams are with you. #MidlandsIPC #BecauseWeCare

I’m not abandoning my mask anytime soon !
