COVID 19 Safety 

​

Osteopaths are listed in the Coronavirus Act 2020 as health service providers and deemed essential in providing care to our local community. As a regulated healthcare professional, I continue to follow stringent safety protocols in line with both Government and the General Osteopathic Council guidelines, including the use of medical grade PPE and Infection Control Procedures.

​

Enhanced safety at your appointment

​

• Pre appointment screening to make sure that it safe for you to attend your appointment.  

• I have enhanced cleaning measures in place using anti-viral sprays and wipes to clean treatment room couch, surfaces and card payment terminal between patients and for frequent cleaning of high-touch points around the clinic room. 

• I wear NHS-grade PPE to protect you (and have selected eco-friendly options wherever possible). I use FRSM type IIR surgical masks and disposable nitrile gloves. I no longer use disposable aprons and safety glasses as a matter of course but can do for individual treatment if requested. In addition, I thoroughly wash hands before and after each patient.

• Treatment couches and pillows are covered with disposable or wipeable coverings.

• Hand-gel sanitiser is provided for all patients.

• Appointment slots are timed to allow adequate time for cleaning.
