YOUR HEALTH AND SAFETY IS IMPORTANT TO US!
We are aware of the news and the precautions being taken in places across the country at the moment. We'd like to reassure you that our practice remains open to ensure continuity of our patients' treatment, however it will be operating with high caution. We want you to know that we take your safety very seriously, and rest assured we have taken extra measures to ensure the hygiene and safety of our practices.
Therefore - we ask that on entering our practices you utilise the hand sanitiser that is available for your use at reception area and consultation rooms of the clinic.
Health & safety measures implemented at the clinic:
1. Upon your arrival for your appointment, you'll be asked to use some hand sanitizer, and answer a couple of questions regarding your wellbeing, international travel and contact with someone diagnosed or suspected of having coronavirus.
2. Additional disinfection measures have been implemented for the safety of both the patients and the practitioners.
3. Reduced waiting times have been implemented to comply with the government's recommendation on social distancing. We achieve this by implementing extra intervals between our clients' appointments.
4. Our exercise classes are capped at 3 maximum per class to comply with the 1.5 meter social distancing recommendation, and equipment is disinfected before and after patients.
5. We've also set up Physitrack Telehealth for patients who are unable to attend a 1:1 exercise physiology appointment or class, please enquire for more details.
