Coronavirus

At NSEC we have keenly followed progress of the pandemic and world literature on best practice - we have developed stringent screening and process measures to protect our staff and clientele.

Although the COVID epidemic has now been officially declared over, cases still occur and in order to protect our clients and staff we ask if you have new onset respiratory or flu like symptoms you DO NOT attend our Centre until you are better.
