Seven ways to keep you safe
As our practices begin to reopen, we have put together seven simple ways to keep you safe whilst you are in our care.
Thorough screening
All patients will screened for symptoms before entering the practice, if any symptoms have been present, they will not be seen. Our colleagues are also required to be vigilant of any symptoms when they arrive at the practice every day.
Sanitising
Patients will be required to sanitise their hands on entry and when they leave practice.
Cleaning
We have allowed extra time to thoroughly clean and disinfect treatment rooms between each patient.
Air purification
Where possible, we have rolled out the installation of air purifiers within treatment rooms where Aerosol Generating Procedures (AGP) are taking place to further sanitise the air.
Social distancing
Current social distancing rules will be adhered wherever possible. To provide the best possible care once within the treatment room, this will not be possible which is why we are taking extra precautions with additional PPE etc.
PPE
Our colleagues and clinicians within practice will be wearing enhanced PPE gear – different levels depending on what procedure you are attending for. You will also be provided with your own mask on arrival.
Virtual consultations
We have introduced virtual consultations to enable us to see as many patients as possible in the safest possible way. A convenient and safe way for you to speak to your clinician.
