As our practices begin to reopen, we have put together seven simple ways to keep you safe whilst you are in our care.
Temperature checks
All patients will have their temperature checked before entering the practice, if showing signs of fever, they will not be seen. Our colleagues are also being checked when they arrive at the practice every day.
Sanitising
Patients will be required to sanitise their hands on entry and when they leave practice.
Cleaning
We have allowed extra time to thoroughly clean and disinfect treatment rooms between each patient.
Communal area restrictions
Patients will not be able to wait in the reception area but will asked to wait in their car outside of practice . Patients will be asked to visit the lavatory and brush their teeth before visiting the practice.
Social distancing
Current social distancing rules will be adhered wherever possible. To provide the best possible care once within the treatment room, this will not be possible which is why we are taking extra precautions with additional PPE etc.
PPE
Our colleagues and clinicians within practice will be wearing enhanced PPE gear – different levels depending on what procedure you are attending for. You will also be provided with your own mask on arrival
Virtual Consultations
We have introduced virtual consultations to enable us to see as many patients as possible in the safest possible way. A convenient and safe way for you to speak to your clinician.
Our new patient journey
Every single decision we have made and step we have taken has been with a focus on the safety of you, our colleagues and clinicians.
