New Guidelines and Clinic changes for Appointments
Please read before making your appointment
Do I need a new consultation?
If you have not attended the clinic in the last 12 months or you are presenting with a new condition, you will need a consultation session. Please call 01453 828000
If you are a regular/ recent patient returning of the same symptoms/condition you can go ahead and book a treatment.
......................................................................................
Has anything changed at the clinic?
Yes, there are a few new safety measures put in place.
1. Only one person can attend the clinic at any one time. Do not bring any company unless pre-arranged.
The clinic door will be closed during treatments and cleaning times to minimise others entering the space. This means the door will only be open at the time of your appointment so please do not arrive too early or late. You can wait in your car if possible.
2. Hygiene Practice
A touch-free hand sanitiser has been installed in the waiting area. All patients must use this prior to treatment.
3. Fever Check
A body temperature reading will be taken using a touch free device prior to treatment. Those with a high temperatures will be asked to reschedule their session to a later date.
4. Health Confirmation
All patients will need to confirm the state of their health when booking and when attending the clinic at each appointment. A small questionnaire may be required.
5. Safe Distancing
Treatment requires working within a close distance. The best practice during this time is to minimise the time spent within in the same space. It may seem less sociable for a while, but we'll get there together.

Do I need to wear a mask?
All patients are required to have a mask present should you need to wear one during your session. I have surgical grade N95 masks available at the clinic for a small cost of £1.00. It is preferred that you bring your own with you.
Please note: Wearing a mask may interfere with some treatments.
At this time we cannot offer any treatments of the face area or treatment that requires prolonged close face-to-face duration.

How safe is the clinic space?
Very safe. The clinic has always upheld strict practices of hygiene and patient safety.
Due to the current viral guidelines the following measures have been compounded.
- The clinic space, equipment and contact areas will be cleaned in between treatments to minimise any cross-contamination.
- Disposable toweling is used for hand drying and for placing on contact areas i.e seating and couches.
- The clinic is only open to those with appointments.
- Only one person is allowed to attend the clinic at any one time.
Practitioner Responsibility
The Government has recommended that practitioners use a full face shield when working at close proximity.
Your Responsibility
As a practitioner it is my responsibility to protect the public, myself and close family members. I expect all patients to be equally responsible and be aware of their health prior to attending the clinic. If you show signs of any symptoms of illness DO NOT attend the clinic space. We all have children and elderly loved ones around us that must be protected, especially those with existing health conditions that may be vulnerable to illness.
Stay safe and feel confident
I hope the above measures are suitable for everyone to attend the clinic with confidence.
If you have any concerns regarding visiting the clinic prior to booking, please call to discuss your needs before booking.
