OUR RESPONSE TO COVID-19
Our Aim
At London Back Pain Clinic our priority is keeping our clients and staff safe during the Coronavirus pandemic. Below is how we have changed our practice taking into account the WHO guidelines and UK government guidelines. These operational procedures will be continually adapted as the situation demands.
Remote Consultations Continue
Please be aware that we have been successfully running remote video-based physiotherapy consultations. Indeed, the first session lends itself to a video consultation as this is when the history of your musculoskeletal problem is taken. It is often the key step in working out how to treat your problem.
Changes we have made
A brief questionnaire sent by email will be completed by staff and clients to ensure that it is safe for both parties to meet face to face each time. Please see here for the questionnaire.
The physiotherapist will be wearing a mask, gloves and apron - clients are asked to come with a mask to the appointment.
To minimise face-to-face contact time, the physiotherapist will call the client in advance of bringing them into the clinic room. This will be to discuss COVID measures specific to the site, progress of treatment etc, so that the face-to-face time is used for performing any physical treatment. Should you, as the client, have worries about confidentiality the whole consultation will be done face-to-face.
Appointment Times
We have allowed a gap of 30 minutes between appointments. This is to allow for cleaning of the room between clients and minimising the risk of clients having to wait in close proximity to others.
Hygiene
Between each client, all ‘contact’ areas including door handles leading to the room, chairs, desk and medical equipment used for any treatment will be disinfected.
Regular hand washing for 20 seconds with provided alcohol sanitisers will be encouraged at the start, during and end of the consultation.
Clinic Room
The windows and door of the client room will be opened between clients to allow for the circulation of fresh air into the room.
Patients are advised to book appointments at off-peak times if travelling in specifically for the appointment. If at all possible use private transport or taxis to come to the appointment.
Staff have been encouraged to take sensible precautions on their journey into work such as wearing a mask in enclosed spaces such as the tube or bus.
