I have modified my diary to ensure there are 30 minutes between appts to reduce client to client contact, allow for changing of PPE and allow for the necessary cleaning.
All unnecessary items and soft furnishings will be removed from the treatment room.
I will be reducing the use of towels, fabric treatment table covers will not be used, couch roll will be used to cover the treatment table instead and all laundry will continue to be strictly single use.
All patients will be screened, risk assessed and clinical justification completed prior to face to face appointments to ensure the most appropriate form of treatment at this time.
Before your appointment consider if you are safe to attend and experiencing any Covid-19 symptoms. If you answer yes to any of our Covid-19 screening questions, we ask that you please postpone or cancel your appointment.
If you are someone that has been identified as being ‘extremely vulnerable’ to developing severe illness from contracting Covid-19 and have been advised to shield by the NHS during this time, we advise that you protect yourself and therefore, a video or telephone consultation will be better suited to you. If you are classed as vulnerable as being aged above 70 years, please contact us to discuss your appointment.
Please attend your appointment alone unless agreed prior to appointment, bring as little as possible into the treatment room with you.
All clients are asked to wear a mask throughout your appointment, on arrival, you will be asked to wash or sanitise your hands and practice social distancing at all points that are possible during your appointment.
Coronavirus Symptoms:
I ask all clients to keep on top of screening yourself for symptoms of coronavirus.
The most common symptoms of coronavirus are the recent onset of a fever, a new continuous dry cough, and a loss of taste or smell.
If you experience these symptoms, or answer yes to our COVID-19 screening questions (below) however mild please contact me as soon as possible to reschedule your appointment.
