Staying safe in clinic – our extra infection control methods
Update 20th December 2020
NSW public health orders, place restrictions in the Northern Beaches Local Government Area similar to March 2020. People are asked to stay home, unless for:
- Work (if can’t work from home)
- Exercise
- Compassionate care
- Shopping for food or essential supplies
- Accessing essential health care
We have interpreted the current public health order to allow our clinic as a permitted place to gather. We will keep in touch with all patients booked in over the December-January holidays, as the situation unfolds.
Your safety
Throughout the pandemic, we have taken your safety extremely seriously. We have vulnerable patients and seek to ensure that all are cared for and protected.
During the Northern Beaches cluster, we will be using these precautions:
- Telehealth appointments available for advice, supplement and herbal prescriptions
- Hospital-grade ultraviolet sterilising units (UVC) in treatments rooms (cleans the air 9 times in one hour, destroying viruses, bacteria and fungi)
- Masks for both patient and practitioner
- Hand steriliser
- Wiping down high-touch surfaces after each appointment
- Shorter face-to-face consultation time (treatment time not affected)
- Please wait in your car until your appointment time
- Please reschedule your appointment if you’re required to isolate/quarantine or if you live with someone who is required to isolate/quarantine
- Please reschedule your appointment if you have any symptoms (and seek testing immediately)
