COVID-19

What will happen when you attend clinic?

At the heart of my values is always to create a welcoming, healing, nurturing space for you to come and escape the world. This has absolutely not changed but there will be a few changes that require your attention prior to your up-coming treatment for both patients and my health and safety.

⭐ Patients attending:

There will be pre-screening protocols carried out 24 hours before you attend the clinic to ensure that you are fit and well.
High risk patients – I will still be seeing all patients. However if you are high risk (pregnant, elderly, chronic health issues) then I ask that you are extra vigilant in your pre-treatment self-assessment of symptoms.
Masks – I ask that you bring your own mask but I will have spares for you to purchase one on the day if you come without.
Your temperature will be checked.
You will be asked to wash your hands and use sanitising gel when you arrive, then we can proceed with your treatment.
A contact tracing log will be completed each day.
Payments & receipts – I will be offering contactless payment either by bank transfer or with my contactless card machine, or if you are paying by cash I ask that you bring the correct amount in an envelope. Receipts will be emailed to you after the treatment session.
Treatment spacing – I will be spacing treatments out, allowing 15 minutes between treatments, to ensure you don’t encounter anyone on arrival. Please only bring yourself to your appointment.
Please do not arrive early, there will not be the facility for you to wait prior to your appointment.
Please demonstrate the correct cough and sneezing etiquette – i.e. into the elbow.

⭐ The Treatment Room:

Sanitising hand gel is readily available.
Soft Furnishings – All soft furnishings in clinic are now disposable, single use or wipeable to ensure all items/surfaces can be disinfected between treatments.
PVC sheeting on the treatment table and a wipeable pillow.
Disposable couch roll.
Disposable hand towel.
The room will be cleaned in between clients with disinfectant, bed, floor, door handles and any other contact areas within the clinic.

⭐ The Therapist

Pre screening of myself that I am ok to practice.
Masks – I will be wearing a mask at all times and I have also spaced chairs in treatment rooms 2m apart. I ask that you bring your own mask but I will have spares for you to purchase one on the day if you come without.
I have completed WHO hand hygiene training along with PPE and infection prevention and control training.

⭐ Remember, please do not come for treatment if:

If you have a fever and or cough, please stay at home regardless or your travel or contact history.
If you have been in contact with someone who has the virus.
If you have new flu like symptoms such as: a cough, shortness of breath, breathing difficulties, fever (high temperature).

Looking forward to seeing you in clinic.
