Reception staff refused to take back used face shield

I had a concerning experience during a recent visit regarding infection control practices. Upon arrival, I was asked to provide a face shield to my child, despite having been advised by the attending clinician that this was not necessary. I was also aware that current guidance does not require this for children in this age group. After the appointment concluded, I attempted to return the used face shield, but was told by the reception staff that it could not be accepted back once it had been worn. I found this response frustrating, particularly given that my child had only worn it briefly during the consultation. I am disappointed by what I perceive as inconsistent application of infection control procedures and the manner in which my concerns were addressed. I intend to raise a formal complaint about this matter. I remain concerned about hygiene standards and would welcome the opportunity for the practice management to review this incident. I have retained the shield and would be willing to present it if the practice wishes to investigate further.
