COVID-19 Clinic procedures 

​

We have been consulting with the General Chiropractic Council, United Chiropractic Association and Gov.Uk and Public Health England, to establish the safest way to treat patients

​

We have now established that we are able to see selected patients who meet the following criteria only:

​

•   You have NOT had any flu like symptoms in the last 10 days
.

•   You have NOT experienced any shortness of breath/ chest pain/ tightness.

•   You have NOT had any unusual abdominal symptoms – loss of appetite, diarrhoea.


•   You have NOT had a loss of smell or taste
.

•   You have NOT had exposure to a suspected or confirmed case of COVID-19.

•   You have NOT had anyone in your household poorly with possible COVID symptoms. 


•   You have NOT had laboratory exposure working directly with biological specimens that contain COVID-19
.

•   You are NOT a health-care worker or first responder having possible contact with COVID-19 patients
.

•   You are NOT in the high risk identified in Government Guidelines below.

​​

 

• Chronic (long-term) respiratory diseases, such as asthma, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, emphysema or bronchitis. 

• Chronic heart disease, such as heart failure. 


• Chronic kidney disease. 


• Chronic liver disease, such as hepatitis. 


• Chronic neurological conditions, such as Parkinson’s disease, motor neurone 
disease, multiple sclerosis, a learning disability or cerebral palsy. 


• Problems with the spleen, such as sickle cell disease or removal of the spleen.

Providing a safe environment of our patients

​

Ongoing cleaning of the contact points and equipment between patients (as pre COVID-19).

Therefore we may be following the following procedures.

​

• Completing a triage questionnaire at the clinic

• Spreading appointments out – meaning we cannot se as many patients in a day due to procedures, cleaning and wearing PPE

• Taking our temperature twice daily

• You will need to wash your hands

• Follow up appointments will be made if the answers to the questions above are still NO.

• The same procedure will happen for every appointment
