If any, please follow government advice re not working/isolatingDoes anyone in your contact ‘bubble’ have COVID-19 symptoms? Or is COVID-19 positive? Are you shielding anyone who is COVID-19 vulnerable?Does the patient or do any of their contacts have COVID-19 symptoms? You are strongly advised to consult with them online or by phone and to remind them to seek medical help should they need to.Working at a clinic:Is the clinic open? Are other practitioners/patients using the clinic – what are the risks from them to you, and you to them?Working at home:You need to determine cleaning routine in writing.Is there anybody else at your home? Would patients put them at risk? Would anyone in your home put patients at risk in any way? Can you manage cleaning/hygiene routine?Overall:Can you maintain 2m distance?Is your room well-ventilated?Cleaning: Clean high touch areas – doorbells, doorknobs, bannisters, light switches for bathrooms/stairwells. Seating – where possible sit patient on chair that can be wiped – particularly the arms. Soft furnishings: remove as many as possible. Bathrooms: Wipe light switches, taps, sinks, toilet, and any other surface. Dispose of wipe/paper towel or wash cloth in soap and hot water. Wash your hands. Provide disposable paper towels/pedal bin (empty daily) or individual towels laundered daily. Sharing towels is not acceptable.Copy of guidance emailed to client in advance of appointmentAppendix ATemporary COVID-19 Arrangements for attending Consultations:Apologies for the following list of guidelines - They are necessary changes to ensure your safety, and all who attend the premises---------If you have any COVID-19 symptoms (high temperature, sore throat, loss of smell or taste, cough, shortness of breath etc), or have been in contact with anyone who has (within the previous 14 days before your appointment) please ring me – INSERT PHONE NUMBER and do not attend. Similarly if you are required to quarantined due to travel etc, or have been contacted via NHS Track & Trace.If you previously tested positive, please contact me and advise when and if you have been medically deemed ‘recovered’.This includes the morning of your appointment. Please do not attend, isolate as per Government procedures and arrange for a test. Note: skype session can be arranged at short notice for you.Link to INSERT ENGLAND, NORTHERN IRELAND, SCOTLAND, WALES governmental website with procedures e.g. subsequently you display COVID-19 symptoms within 14 days of attending, please ring me to ensure I can alert NHS Track & Trace as a matter of urgency.---------Following a mandatory business risk assessment, additional measures have been taken:- 2m distance will be maintained & large transparent perspex screens have been installed - Hand sanitiser is provided on arrival and / or handwashing facilities are available if preferred- Window will be open (tilted) to increase ventilation - Enhanced treatment room & toilet facility cleaning before and after attendance- Signage has been erected to highlight important precautions- Consultations are spaced out to allow extra time needed to clean premises - Client sofa is covered with a sheet for you to sit on, fresh for each consultation- hepa type air filtration with UV sanitisation (This is list not exhaustive)Most grateful for your patience as I may be unable to admit you more than 5 minutes before appointment time due to cleaning.INSERT TREATMENT NAME - it has always been standard hygiene practise for all towels / couch paper / mat etc to be fresh for each client. Due to closer proximity of certain treatments, I will wear a face shield (in addition to screen).On arrival, please park directly outside glass treatment room door (left hand side of property). Please leave all unessential personal belongings in your car. Note: your car is parked on a private driveway and can be seen through glass door at all times. When you arrive and leave I will open and close the door, stepping back to ensure social distancing is maintained.Please feel free to attend with own PPE (clean mask, gloves etc – entirely your preference), these will not be provided. If you are over 70 or have been asked to shield I would recommend wearing PPE. If so, please contact me before attending and I will wear a face shield for your arrival.Please restrict attendance to yourself as the client (or one adult with one child client). Understandably young children will be more inclined to touch surfaces. We can discuss possible strategies to minimise this in advance.Again apologies, existing clients will know that I usually provided tea / coffee / water etc, but am temporarily unable to (to ensure adherence to essential hygiene procedures). Please do bring a bottle of water with you if you think you will feel thirsty (sessions are lengthy, with substantial talking). As mentioned, a window will be open during consultation for ventilation so please do consider wearing easily removable layers to ensure your comfort. If this is your first appointment with me – please email the questionnaire / forms to me at least 24 hours before consultation, where possible. This will enable me to print and avoid unnecessary handling. Please bring correct money with you to avoid need for handling change. If you prefer cheque payment: payee – ‘INSERT PAYEE’INSERT FEES FOR EACH TREATMENT / SERVICEFinally, if and when Government eases restrictions, I may not be able to relax these changes immediately. Please be patient as a full review of the risk assessment will be required first, therefore due diligence will be maintained. Please be assured this is to ensure all reasonable steps are taken to ensure you remain COVID-19 secure while attending INSERT PRACTICE NAME.
