!COVID-19 Notification to all clients! (last update : April 8th 2022)
Notification to all clients old and new:
We remain open to see people face to face with the correct precautionary measures. So please be reassured that we have risk assessed our services in line with government and professional guidance.
Face to face may not be appropriate for those shielding themselves or those within their social bubble, video consultation is still available. Follow-up for those not requiring face to face management will have their appointments arranged as video/phone consultations if agreed.
All surfaces are wiped down with clinically recognized, biodegradable non-alcohol sanitizer between each client, and paper couch roll or towels are single use. An UV air purification and HEPA filter system is being used in place of the open windows over the winter period. We are asking all visitors to wash their hands or use the hand sanitizer provided before and after attending. Fluid-resistant masks are grade 5 recyclable, gloves and aprons are biodegradable and can be provided. Toilets have reopened. On return home, immediate removal of clothing for washing or double-bagging for 72 hours before washing with normal clothes is recommended for those at high risk.
We would remind anyone who has mild but new symptoms of persistent coughing, fever or shortness of breath, altered taste or smell to remain in isolation for the full 5 day period as per NHS guidelines. Please notify us of health changes as soon as possible. A cancellation fee will be charged if less than 24hrs notice is provided.
Those self isolating or at risk (multiple factors of aged 70 and over, immunocompromised, have pre-existing health conditions like diabetes, obesity or living with people at risk) should consider video consultations or home visits.
- Remote (telephone and video) consultations for 15-60 minutes depending on your complaint or requirements are as per normal appointments. As such they are charged accordingly. Please book online or contact us to discuss how this is arranged for the best outcome.
- Face to face Physiotherapy provision will only continue if we are able to comply with government and professional guidance. We are monitoring this as information comes to light.
We look forward to resuming normal services as soon as possible.
Best wishes,
the Marchmont Physiotherapy Clinic Team
