The onset of Coronavirus is a most challenging time for us all and certainly more so for those in our community whose immune system is already compromised. We are taking measures to help minimize the spread of the virus and appreciate your understanding and cooperation while we all work together to do so. ... We would like to assure you that apart from our pre-Coronavirus practice cleanliness, we have taken additional measures to ensure all surfaces are constantly cleaned with the highest grade disinfectant.

We have extended our cleaning to regularly wiping down all surfaces, door handles and one pen per patient. We urge all patients to use the hand sanitisers provided before and after treatment. If any patient presents feeling unwell they will be examined by a Physiotherapist for any symptoms of Coronavirus and sent onto a medical practice or hospital if there is any question of infection. We appreciate your consideration in these difficult times.
