  • Email Scams: Please be aware that there are sophisticated email scams going around in which scammers make it look like they are sending an email from Dr Stately (or another member of the NACC team) Here are some tips:

    • NEVER CLICK ON LINKS FROM an email unless you have checked and confirmed with the sender that the link is legit. Text me if you have a question.

    • Never send any information or patient data to anyone without confirming both the email name and the email address the message was sent from.

  • COVID mitigation policy

  • Log workplace events/ issues in the incident tracker-
