What we are doing to keep you safe

The following guidelines from the American Academy of Dermatology and World Health Organisation are being implemented in the practice.

• All patients are screened for symptoms and have temperature check at entrance to hospital

• All patients to wear masks and to sanitise hands upon entry.

• Only the patient is allowed into the rooms. Please wait in your car until called rather than sitting in the waiting room. Every effort is made to keep waiting times short.

• Relatives/accompanied guests to wait in the car and not in the waiting room.

• Minors (<18 years) allowed with one parent only. Elderly patients who cannot manage on their own can be accompanied by one guest or caregiver.

• Children or elderly who do not have an appointment should not be brought to the hospital for their own safety and cannot be allowed into the consulting room.

• Social distancing in operation in the waiting room. Chairs are separated.

• Masks to be kept on during examination.

• All commonly touched surfaces (door handles/knobs, reception counter, credit card machine, chair sides) are regularly sanitised.

• The bed covers and pillow cases are sanitised after every patient.

• Hand sanitisers are available in the entrance of the practice and in the consulting room

• Magazines and toys have been removed and no tea/coffee is served to avoid spread of virus.

• Contactless payment is available for credit cards with this facility.

• EFT payments are acceptable if you are nervous about touching the card machine.

• Sanitise after handling cash in the rooms.
