Our Covid protocols in light of the lifting of legal restrictions on 19th July 2021

Virtually all Covid legal restrictions will be lifted on 19th July 2021. In the light of this we have reassessed our infection control procedures, our requirements of visitors to the clinic and the rationale behind all of these.

First and foremost, as healthcare professionals our prime motivation is the health of our patients. As such, due to current case

numbers and the continued risk of infection, we will continue to follow the protocols that we have followed throughout the pandemic. Both practitioners and patients will therefore see no change to the way the clinic is currently running.

Please note that we will continue to require patients to wear a mask for any close contact treatments where social distancing is not possible.

We are constantly reviewing and following the advice from Government and NHS England to reduce the risk to everyone visiting the clinic. Robust safety procedures and additional cleaning & infection control protocols have been implemented, but it is important to bear in mind that there are no known means to guarantee zero risk of transmission.

In order to ensure that we provide a safe environment and can safely treat you, we ask that all visitors to the clinic adhere to the following:

• Please bring a mask or cloth face covering with you, in case your practitioner needs to be closer to you during treatment than social distancing allows
• Wait in your car for your practitioner to collect you
• Sanitise your hands once you leave your car and before you enter the clinic building

Please – do not come to the clinic if you have Covid-19 symptoms
