The New Normal

Following the
announcement by our governing bodies we can now re open the practice for face
to face consultations from Monday 22nd June.
As a practice, keeping hygiene levels exceptional throughout the day has always
been a priority. The last couple of weeks we have been working hard behind the
scenes to ensure all precautions and measures are in place. We have taken every
measure to ensure excellent hygiene and safety standards to enable us to safely
re-open.
New precautions we are
taking include:
⚪You’ll be contacted by
your practitioner 24 hours before your appointment to undertake a risk
assessment and be screened for any COVID-19 symptoms.
⚪Please
arrive on time for your appointment. If you arrive early please wait in your
car or outside. This will minimise any crossover. The waiting room is
temporary closed.
⚪To
minimise contact and maintain social distancing, only one patient will be
allowed in the treatment room at a time.
⚪All
practitioners will be wearing PPE in-line with government guidance
for the duration of your appointment. We advise patients to bring their own
face mask or face covering to wear. If you don’t have a face mask the clinic
can provide at a small charge of £1. If you arrive wearing gloves, these will
need to be disposed of upon entry to the clinic.
⚪Upon
entry to the clinic your practitioner will conduct a re-screen for COVID
symptoms and will ask you to use the hand sanitiser before and after your
treatment. We kindly request you use the toilet before attending your
appointment to reduce the amount of patient traffic.
⚪All
linen has been removed from clinic and couches. These have been replaced with
wipeable covers, disposable couch roll and disposable pillow cases. No towels
will be used in the clinic.
⚪All
surfaces in the clinic are disinfected between appointments. Additional time is
also added between appointments to aerate the treatment rooms and allow
appropriate donning and doffing of PPE.
⚪Only
some services have resumed. We currently do not offer sports massage / sports
therapy and corticosteroid injections.
⚪For
the near future we are running on a telephone service only, with no online
booking.
As an alternative to face to face appointments, we can offer a virtual consultation, if you or anyone within your household is in one of the high-risk categories, or If you or anyone in your household has been unwell in the last 2 weeks with COVID-19 symptoms and If you have not been following government social distancing guidelines.
We’ll update on any changes to the way we practice in the coming weeks and months and look forward to welcoming patients new and old, back to the clinic.
To book an appointment please telephone 01792 872900 or email gareth@swanseahealthsolutions.co.uk
The receptionist will take some personal details, then your practitioner will call you back, to arrange an appointment time convenient for you and explain the procedure of your appointment

The last two years have seen a dramatic increase in operation costs, and while we endeavour to remain as accessible as possible we are a small, community business.

Merry Christmas & a Happy New Year from us all at Swansea Health Solutions

As our team are physiotherapists and Osteopaths we are considered as key workers, this will hopefully reduce the pressure on the NHS and help those who need our care.
We will continue with our risk assessment and full PPE measurements will remain in place.
