🦠 Coronavirus/Covid-19 Update 1🦠
The Government have now stated that Podiatry and Chiropody clinics may remain open. The guidance states that exceptions to the closure of businesses and premises are:
Medical services (such as dental surgeries, opticians and audiology clinics, physiotherapy clinics, chiropody and podiatry clinics, and other professional vocational medical services).
Whilst our clinic can re-open, we can only treat those who have a high risk or urgent podiatric need. This complied with advice from the College of Podiatry.
We have a duty to reduce the spread of the virus, to reduce the impact on the NHS & to keep you mobile.
If you develop an emergency foot problem that causes pain or discomfort please call the clinic on
01749 372404
If we do not answer please leave a message and we will call you back as soon as possible. We will screen/triage all requests for appointments.
For your safety and wellbeing please see the following:
* Our waiting area has been adapted to allow for social distancing
* We have extended time slots to reduce social contact when waiting & to allow for cleaning of the clinic between appointments
* We encourage everyone to wash their hands upon entering and leaving the premises
YOU MUST NOT ATTEND IF YOU HAVE SYMPTOMS OF CORONAVIRUS OR HAVE COME INTO CONTACT WITH ANYONE WITH SYMPTOMS. Please phone NHS 111 and they will refer you to the correct department.
Please check back regularly as our working practices are adapted daily in response to government information issued - information & guidance changes frequently!
Thank you for your patience and understanding. We apologise for any inconvenience caused.
