COVID-19 Protective Measures

All patients must wear a well-fitting face covering at all times in the clinic. If you have a medical exemption you must make us aware of this in advance, preferably when you make the appointment, to allow us to make the necessary arrangements in the clinic. IF YOU DO NOT MAKE US AWARE OF YOUR EXEMPTION BEFOREHAND YOU WILL BE REFUSED ENTRY TO THE CLINIC WHEN YOU ARRIVE.
You cannot attend the clinic if you have ANY cold or flu-like symptoms (EVEN IF IT IS CONFIRMED NOT TO BE COVID). IF YOU ATTEND WITH SYMPTOMS YOU WILL BE REFUSED ENTRY TO THE CLINIC.
Please do not attend the clinic if a close contact or family member is exhibiting COVID-like symptoms, if any member of your family is self-isolating or tested positive for COVID, or if you have recently returned from travelling abroad (less than 7 days).
Patients are required to attend alone unless arranged in advance to reduce the number of people in the clinic at any one time. In the case of patients under 16 years old one parent from the same household is welcome to attend.
All of our practitioners use full PPE and are fully vaccinated.

Have you had any symptoms including fever, dry cough/sore throat, tiredness/weakness, new headaches, runny nose, or loss of taste/smell in the last 10 days, or tested positive for COVID-19?
Has anyone you live with, or have had close contact with had any symptoms listed above, or tested positive for COVID-19?
Are you able to wear a face mask at all times in the clinic? If you are exempt you must inform us in advance so we can make the necessary arrangements in the clinic and provide a medical exemption letter.
Have you returned from traveling abroad TO ANY COUNTRY in the last 7 days?
Have you been contacted by the government’s track and trace system alerting you to the fact you have been in close contact with someone who has tested positive for COVID-19, or been instructed to self-isolate?
If you have children, are any of your children currently at home after being told to self-isolate due to an outbreak at their school?
Are you considered a person who is at high risk from COVID-19? Or do you live with, or care for a person who may be classified as high risk (including but not limited to, someone over 80, a person who is immunocompromised or takes immunosuppressants, severely diabetic, someone with a serious heart condition).
Do you understand that even though we are taking all necessary precautions a visit to the clinic is not 100% risk-free from COVID-19?

All of our practitioners will be using personal protective equipment including face masks, gloves, aprons, and wipe clean surfacing on the treatment table.
All patients must wash their hands on arrival at the clinic, you may wish to wear gloves once you have done this but they must be fresh pair of gloves that have not been worn outside of the clinic.
All appointments are spaced 10 minutes apart to ensure we can fully ventilate the treatment rooms after each patient, disinfect the surfaces in the clinic, change our PPE, and ensure that patients do not encounter each other at the entrance or exit to the clinic.
The waiting room is closed until further notice to avoid people congregating in the practice, please try to arrive as close to your appointment time as possible.

If you wish to discuss any of the measures outlined above, please get in contact and we will happily answer any questions you may have.

We hope that these precautions do not have to last for too long and we appreciate your understanding at this time.
