With the continuing pandemic in WA, we all need to consider the impact of Covid-19 in our wider community, especially those who are most vulnerable.
I want to reassure you that I have actively put systems and strategies in place to make the risk to you as low as possible.
Some of the many ways I have been making it safe to provide your treatment during this time:
- Careful screening of all people attending for appointments.
- A requirement for hand sanitising before entering have been in place for some time now.
- Masks must be worn unless you have a medical exemption or you are asked to remove them briefly in the treatment room.
- I have been fully vaccinated for Covid-19.
- As a currently mandated requirement for all Allied Health and primary health care practices, I wear fit tested N-95 level masks to protect you.
- I have increased the number of medical grade HEPA 13 air filters with UV which are capable of removing virus particles from the air if they are present. The sealed filters remove particles down to 0.1 microns in size and provide additional protection against airborne infection.
- Windows are opened when using air-conditioning to allow free movement of air throughout the clinic and waiting area.
- Rigorous cleaning of the clinic takes place after every patient leaves and at the end of each day. The medical grade detergent and disinfectant I use on the beds and all clinic surfaces is TGA approved and kills a wide range of microorganisms including SARS-CoV-2 (COVID-19 virus).
- The layout for entry and exit to the clinic has been changed to ensure there is no crossover of patients.
- When the virus is widely present in the community, then Rapid Antigen Testing (RAT) is likely to be part of life for all of us. I test regularly to reduce the possibility having an undetected asymptomatic infection that might pose a risk to others.
I would be grateful if you could help us to maintain a safe environment in the following ways:
- Please do not attend for an appointment if you are feeling unwell, particularly if you have a cough, sore throat, fever, runny or stuffy nose, sudden loss of taste or smell, headache or gastro symptoms. I can do Telehealth sessions in this case and prescribe herbs which may ease symptoms just call 9295 1778 for a call back or book online for a Telehealth session.
- Please do not attend if you are a close contact of someone who has symptoms of or is a confirmed case of Covid-19.
- Please do not attend if you are isolating or awaiting results of a Covid-19 test.
- Please wear a mask and use the hand sanitizer provided upon arrival.
- I will be asking new clients or those I have not seen for some time for their vaccination status. If unvaccinated or unable to provide that status then, I ask that you wear an N95 mask to enter the clinic to keep you safe from infection. If you cannot access one before arriving then one will be provided. This is to protect you from potential infection as I see many people during clinic day.
If you are at all unsure about any aspect of your visit, please call 9295 1778 and I will be happy to help.
Take care and stay safe.
