** Face mask mandatory from Friday 24th July 2020 when going into shops **

At Cookham Pharmacy, it’s been so encouraging to see so many patients and customers wearing a face mask/ face covering. This means covering mouth AND nose.

I would encourage everyone to get used to wearing a mask / face covering over the next few days -if you haven’t worn one already - be 24th ready.

We appreciate there may be some patients for whom wearing a mask or face covering is challenging - and we will help you in serving you observing social distancing.

However, just a quick note to say that if you are wearing a disposable mask, the
BLUE is on the OUTSIDE and
WHITE on the INSIDE.

We’ve got disposable and re-usable masks, hand sanitizers and some stocks of gloves for sale.

For patients who rely on lip reading - please simply let us know .

A patient came in today with a little note he pulled out from his wallet stating that he needed to communicate by lip reading, please could I remove my mask? - I happily did so and I spoke to him from behind the Perspex screen - this helped reduced the risk and was able to serve him.
