Patient Information and guidance for new COVID PROCEDURES

FOR PATIENTS ATTENDING THE PRACTICE FOR TREATMENT:

 

  • Ring the doorbell on arrival where you will be invited into the appropriate waiting area.

​

  • Your temperature will be taken using an infrared non-contact thermometer. Should your temperature be above 37.8 degrees celsius, you will be asked to leave the premises and follow self isolation/monitoring advice. 

​

  • You will then need to read and sign the consent form.

 

  • You will be asked to wash your hands or use the hand gel sanitiser on arrival.

​

  • Disposable gloves will be available free of charge, if needed. PLEASE DO NOT bring your own gloves onto the premises.

​

  • You will be required to wear a new facemask only provided by Romsey Physiotherapy on the door when arriving for your appointment. This shall be worn at all times.

​

  • A £1.50 PPE charge shall be automatically applied to your bill. This charge covers compulsory PPE items which must be worn by your physio and yourself.

​​

  • We will only allow one person in the waiting room and treatment room at a time unless the patient is under 16 years of age or needs a chaperone/carer. They will need to socially distance 2 metres from the therapist at all times

 

  • Please allow staff to open and close all doors during your appointment.

 

  • At the end of your treatment you will be asked to wash your hands again before making payment with card only. No cash will be accepted.

 

  • Toilet facilities will be closed to minimise further risk of spreading the virus as instructed by Public Health England.

​

  • Appointment times will be staggered to minimise the number of patients waiting at any time.
