As a responsible business we are doing best to protect our clients, staff and community . But at the same time giving effective services .

For All Appointments –

1.We request all of our clients to attend your appointment on time .Neither before the time nor after the time .This will avoid having many clients at the same time in waiting area .
2.Please come alone to your aappointment unless you are minor
3.Toilet in the premises will be avialble to use only if its urgency .Plan yourself well in advance so that you dont need to use toilet in the premises.
4.Please let us know if you were tested Positive for Covid -1 9, have had symptoms of Covid-19 or have been in close contact with someone with Covid-19 in the last 7 days.

Appointment bookings

Face-to-face consultations are available. No physical contact is made during the session.
There are no hands-on treatments currently (these are planned for July, subject to government lockdown easing plans).
The gap between appointments is slightly longer to allow for hygiene measures and to ensure that clients do not overlap.
We ask clients to avoid turning up early or late so we can prevent client overlap.
If clients are high-risk or vulnerable, the advice is to continue to use video/phone consultations until the shielding period has passed.
Clients are asked to come alone to appointments unless they are minors.

Enhanced hygiene measures

We wash our hands before and after each client and before and after cleaning as well as regularly throughout the day.
We use antibacterial wipes to wipe down all objects that clients may touch (door bell, office door handle, chair, desk surface, tissue box, card machine, handout folder, door handles on the way to toilet, toilet light switch, toilet, sink, tap).
Paper towels are provided for after hand washing.
Bins are emptied after each client.
Any objects which are non-essential in the office or difficult to wash have been removed.
Window are opened between clients and left ajar during consultations.
The toilet will be available, but clients are asked to avoid using unless absolutely necessary.

Pre-consultation checks

If a practitioner or anyone they are in close contact with has symptoms of the virus, we will change appointments to video/phone for the relevant period of time (as outlined by the government).
We email clients before appointments to check whether they:
- have tested positive to Covid-19 in the last 7 days.
- are in self-isolation.
- have been in close contact with someone who has symptoms of COVID-19 (high temperature, persistent cough, loss of smell/taste).
If the answer is yes to either of these questions, we will change to a video/phone appointment or defer the appointment. We will also advise to contact NHS 111 and stay at home.
If the answer is no to these questions, we will ask the client to let us know if that changes before our appointment.

During consultations

Shoes need to be removed on entry to the consulting room.
We ask clients to use hand sanitiser on arrival to protect other clients.
The space between the practitioner and clients during the consultations is 2m.
We will not be taking pulses while the 2m distance is in operation. If/when that decreases, this will be reassessed.
If a client starts to show symptoms during the appointment or it seems they could be potentially be suffering with Covid-19, we will terminate the appointment and defer or move it online. We will encourage the client to have a test as soon as possible.

Post consultation

If a client contacts us within 7 days post-consultation to say they have tested Covid-19-positive, the practitioner will test/isolate themself and convert all consultations during the isolation period to video/phone consultations.
