Covid -19 Update - Following 19th July 2020

​

We are open during the Covid -19 pandemic!  The extra precautions listed below continue after the lockdown easing. Our society has provided strict guidelines, which we are rigorously adhering to.  Under normal conditions,  podiatrists follow infection control guidelines routinely.  This includes protocols  for instrument sterilisation, hand washing before and after patient contact, clinical waste, and cleaning of the clinic etc. 

 

In addition, during the pandemic, we are  also, 

• allowing extra gaps between appointments to allow extra deep cleaning and to help avoid patients  meeting subsequent patients.

• patients are advised to reschedule  appointments should they have any symptoms or contact with persons with Covid  19, patients are also screened on entry

• patients are directed to use hand sanitiser and may also wash their hands, on entry and exit to the building

• the podiatrist see's all patient's in full PPE, including wearing scrubs, using disposable gloves and apron, visor and mask,

• contactless payment is encouraged

• Medical History and Consent Forms can now be completed electronically

• patients are asked to wear a mask from entry to exit of the building- as per our society and Public Health England's guidance
