West Yorkshire Metro has also developed one for public transport.

• Vulnerable patients with dementia, learning disabilities and were putting on and wearing a face mask would cause you distress.

• Patients who have a physical or mental illness or impairment, or disability that means you cannot put on, wear or remove a face covering.

NB for patients with respiratory problems. We advise wearing a face covering for your appointment. If you do not wish to do so please discuss with reception prior to your appointment.
