COVID 19

We ahve been working hard over the last few months to change the way we work so that we can ensure the safety of our staff and patients.
Our Representative body have been working with government departments in all of the four nations in the United Kingdom to ensure we do this in a timely and safe manner. They have now issued guidance that we can now open to all patients who are not shielding or should be shielding.

What we have done to ensure that we can re-open safely:
We have undertaken a full risk assessment following government and professional guidelines, produced a safeguarding policy and provided training for all staff.

• We are triaging all patients before they attend to ensure they have not had contact with anyone with diagnosed COVID 19 in the last 14 days. They or a member of their household has not had any symptoms of COVID 19 in the last 14 days and that they are not in a high risk category
• We have created a fifteen minute buffer between patients to ensure we can undertake our enhanced cleaning regimes and ensure social distancing is maintained
•  We are staggering appointment times if there is more than one osteopath on duty to ensure patients arrive at different times
•  We have modified our treatment rooms and increased our cleaning regimes
•  We are asking all patients to wash or cleanse their hands on entering and leaving our clinics
•  We are asking all patients to wear an IIR facemask (we provide these) when they are in our clinics
•  We are ensuring practitioners wear IIR facemasks, single use gloves and single use aprons  with all patients
•  We are asking all patients and visitors to maintain social distancing from non-clinical staff
•  We are only accepting contactless payments so please ensure you have a contactless card, apple or google pay.
