COVID-19 SAFETY
As Covid-19 recedes and becomes less of a threat I have been able to discard some of the precautions. Things like the wearing of a mask which I will supply, may however, still be required from time to time based upon the prevailing situation. I realise that for some this may be considered an inconvenience, however as I see and work with a number of expectant and new mums, patients with vulnerabilities and some with vulnerable family members at home I hope that you will be able to see your way to working with me on this. As your practitioner I will also be wearing a mask. If however you need me to remove it to facilitate lipreading then please do say.
Prior to your appointment I will send a quick text message just to double check that you have no signs of covid, nor have you been in contact with a confirmed case. It would be greatly appreciated if you could include any other significant symptoms of respiratory infections in this precaution too. The text serves two purposes and will also contain the time and day of your appointment as a reminder.
Extra time is being booked between patients to allow for a stringent cleaning procedure, with all treatment surfaces and cushions that you may come in to contact with being thoroughly cleaned between patients with a bleach solution. This extra time also allows for ventilation of the room.
As the couch will not have any fabric coverings, to facilitate regular cleaning, you make like to bring a towel from home to put on the couch for your comfort.
