Covid-19 Information
Updated 8/6/22
From 1st June 2022 onwards:
Over the last two years we have seen may changes and the Covid rules seem to be constantly changing.
- The requirement for face masks in healthcare settings has now been removed and are now considered optional. We are conscious of the fact that some of our patients are in the "at risk/vulnerable group" therefore if you would like to continue wearing a mask please do. If you would like your therapist to wear a mask please let us know, as we are very happy to do this.
- Guidance remains in place for those who test positive to stay at home and avoid contact with others for at least five full days.
We continue to have measures in place to keep us all as safe as possible and we still have enhanced cleaning protocols .
We are now using our waiting room again but ask that you wait in your car or outside the clinic until just before your treatment time. If you prefer to continue to waiting in your car that is fine, we will come and call you in when your appointment is due.
Please do not come to the clinic if you are showing any symptoms of Covid-19.
If a member of your family or close contact is showing signs of Covid we ask you, if possible, to have a negative LFT before you attend the clinic.
Our priority is to continue to keep us as safe as possible.
Covid-19 Policy
Please do not come to the clinic if you are showing any symptoms of Covid-19 and please be reassured that all of us will be taking the same precautions that we are asking of you. Our priority is to keep us all as safe as possible.
The steps we continue to take to create a COVID Secure Clinic
Telephone Assessment
- Prior to booking any face to face consultations we will conduct a telephone "triage" to confirm you are well and able to attend the clinic
- We will ensure that you understand:
- The level of PPE that a physiotherapist and patient will be required to wear
- The infection prevention and control measures that must be taken
- We will explain what will happen when you arrive for your treatment
Changes we have had to make
- Couch covers have been removed. Pillows have plastic cleanable covers. Disposable paper couch roll will be used.
- Ventilation is extremely important, so we now have a new air purificaton system which ensures good quality air throughout our treatments rooms.
- We regularly clean all the surfaces that have been touched by either the physio or patient. This includes plinths, handles, taps, light switches and the toilet if it has been used.
- We are now using our waiting room again but ask that you wait in your car or outside the clinic until just before your treatment time. If you prefer to continue to waiting in your car that is fine, we will come and call you in when your appointment is due.
- Please use the hand sanitiser gel when you enter the clinic.
- Whilst in the clinic, please try to continue to observe social distancing, whenever possible.
- The Physiotherapist will be following the latest healthcare guidance. They will be wearing a mask and also disposable gloves and apron if deemed necessary.
If you have any questions regarding your treatment please do not hesitate to contact us.
