Covid Safety with your Chiropractor
Andy Attwood • Nov 04, 2020
Your Chiropractor is keeping you safe in clinic
Update for Chiropractors 4th January 2021 - Lockdown in England
Further to the Government announcement regarding the lockdown, we continue to be EXEMPT FROM CLOSURE and as such will remain open to see patients for whom there is a medical need for care and patients are permitted to travel for medical appointments.
We do, however, strongly urge you to take additional care when entering the premises to reduce the risk of transmission as far as is practically possible, including washing your hands immediately on arrival and before leaving and using hand sanitiser as offered.
We will additionally be requesting all patients to wear a mask in the building at all times.
As before, we will continue to triage on the morning of your appointment and request that you do not attend if you are displaying any suspected Covid symptoms or have been in contact with a possible Covid case or have been told to isolate.
If you have any concerns about your visit please don't hesitate to contact us for a chat.
- As regulated healthcare professionals, Chiropractors are exempt from closure during lockdown. This means we are able to continue your care to our usual high standard whilst maintaining strict safety protocols.
- For new patients, we will conduct the initial consultation by telephone or video call to gather as much information as we can. This will enable us to focus the face to face time in clinic on physical assessment and care.
- All patients are triaged on the morning of their appointment and we ask you to confirm that you are well and have not been exposed to Covid in the past 14 days.
- If you feel unwell ahead of your session or think you have been in contact with a Covid case, please do not come to your appointment. We will reschedule for when you feel better.
- Payments are now taken via a link that will be sent on the day of your appointment so you can pay online by credit or debit card. This is intended to reduce touch-points as much as possible.
- Please aim to arrive within 5 minutes ahead of your appointment start time and if you are early please wait in the car.
- The front desk will have your name, please let them know you have arrived and they will direct you to the clinic room.
- Please use the washroom facilities to wash your hands before and after your session. There will also be hand sanitiser available for your use.
- Your Practitioner will be wearing disposable PPE in accordance with the guidance from our Association which is changed for each patient. If you wish to bring and wear your own mask please do, we also have disposable masks available for you. Please do not wear gloves to your appointment!
- We are spacing appointments so that there is minimal close proximity with other people and the clinic is being thoroughly cleaned between patients with the bench and all contact points cleaned with antiviral and antibacterial cleaner. We always use fresh couch roll for every patient so you can be assured that there is a barrier on the surface as well as it being cleaned.
- The building we are based in operates a one-way system to minimise close proximity movement and we will accompany you to the exit.
In addition, your Practitioners are regularly monitoring their own health and reducing the risk of cross-contamination by regular and thorough hand/forearm washing and sanitising, changing into work clothes/shoes once at the clinic and changing again before leaving and laundering work clothes at the end of every session.
These protocols have been put in place to protect us all and we thank you for helping us to keep everyone safe whilst we continue your Chiropractic Care.
