New Procedures and Measures
The clinic is now open for non-vulnerable, and non-shielding patients. Vulnerable patients or shielding patients should book in for an Online Consultation.
Track and Trace
Please note, if you develop symptoms within 48 hrs of an appointment and are are notifying Track and Trace, please notify them that we are a healthcare
setting following full PPE protocols, as opposed to a social contact.
We cannot guarantee no risk of COVID-19 transmission, but we will be implementing new procedures and hygiene measures which will keep this risk very low:
- In-Person Consultations with new hygiene measures, and clinic procedures
- Online Consultations for Osteopathic advice and exercises for those at home
- New services to help improve well-being, and breathing coaching and exercises for those who are vulnerable
In-Person Consultations
Below is a summary of our new hygiene measures and clinic procedures:
Hygiene Measures in the Clinic:
- Appointments have been spaced out to air and disinfect the clinic
- Please arrive on time. Clients arriving more than 5 mins early should wait in their car, or outside in the clinic garden.
- Before every consultation,
- All door handles, and other easily contactable surfaces, will be cleaned and disinfected
- All clinic towels, and disposable coverings used will be changed
- The Osteopath will wash his hands or use hand sanitiser (as currently), and use gloves as necessary
- The Osteopath will wear a face mask and apron, and goggles as necessary, which will be changed after each work session
- Each patient should:
- wash or saints hands on entering the premises
- bring their own face mask
- bring a towel to cover them during treatment
Who should NOT come In Person
- Patients who are identified as vulnerable, or as shielding, will be strongly discouraged from attending clinic, and will instead be offered Online Consultations.
- Patients showing any signs of fever, coughing, sore throat, or any other COVID-19 symptoms
- Patients who have had a fever in the last 7 days
- Patients who have any cold symptoms
- Patients who have had a family member who has had a fever in the last 14 days.
- Patients unwilling to comply with our procedures.
- We reserve the right to decline In-Person bookings if we feel that there is a risk of COVID-19 transmission, or serious risk to a patient’s or practitioner's health.
Who can we treat In Person:
In general, patients who are non-vulnerable, or are not shielding.
We cannot guarantee no risk of COVID-19 transmission, but we are confident that implementing our new procedures and hygiene measures will keep this risk very low.
