Covid 19
How to Stay Safe in these Trying
Times
The COVID 19 outbreak means that how we live and
interact has changed for us all. And while we cannot
just lock ourselves in our homes forever, there are
some simple, yet very effective ways of reducing the
risk of infection and in preventing its spread.
What We do at the Clinic
The goal at the Nower Hill Clinic is to create as safe
and as risk free an environment as possible. Here is
what we do:
•
Your practitioner will wear medical grade PPE.
This will include a surgical mask, gloves, arm
protectors, and eye protection in certain
procedures.
•
We will change all towels and clothes between
each patient.
•
We will chemically disinfect the treatment room,
waiting room, and toilet both before each patient
arrives, AND after each patient departs. The
chemicals used are medical grade and have
been proven to destroy COVID 19.
•
After chemical disinfection, we will also disinfect
the treatment room with UV-C virucidal light. It is
the same disinfecting lights used in hospitals and
is proven to destroy COVID 19.
•
We will ventilate the clinic between each
appointment to further reduce the chance of any
virus escaping both the chemical and UV-C
disinfection routines.
•
At the end of the working day, we will also
disinfect the clinic using an ozone machine. This
machine produces ozone gas which will saturate
the clinic, filling every nook and cranny of the
space, even behind all of the furniture and
paintings. Ozone gas has been shown to destroy
the cellular structure of COVID 19, in effect,
killing the virus.
What You Need to Do
In order to keep everyone safe and reduce the risk of
infection, we NEED everyone to work together in order
to succeed. Here is what you can do to help:
•
Wear a face mask or face covering to yor
appointment
•
Use a hand sanitizer or wash your hands both
BEFORE and AFTER your appointment
•
Please come to the clinic alone unless your are
accompanying a minor, or need help
communicating with your practitioner
•
Please arrive at your booked time. Do not arrive
early as we are no longer allowed to have
patients sitting in the waiting room for any length
of time. Please also do not arrive late as it puts
the clinic under pressure to disinfect everything
before the following patient. If arriving too late, we
may have no choice but to rebook your
appointment.
When to Avoid the Clinic
THIS IS VITAL. Do not come in to clinic if you:
•
Are currently experiencing COVID 19 symptoms
(dry continuous cough, a temperature or sore
throat).
•
Someone in your household is experiencing
COVID 19 symptoms
•
You or someone in your household has been
officially told to shield (you have been sent a
letter from the NHS telling you to shield)
Only if we work together can we keep each other
safe.
