At South West Podiatry we are very much aware and understand concern about Covid-19. Whilst the situation is ever-changing, South West Podiatry are monitoring the development daily and are actively taking guidance from the NHS, government business guidance and expert advice by the Chief Medical Officer, Public Health England.
Covid-19 – We wanted to let you know that as a business we are open and operating a ‘business as usual’ approach. We want to make sure we can fulfil the needs of our clients during these times.
As a medical practice generally managing bacterial and viral infections on a daily basis, our cleaning and hygiene standards are in line with current College of Podiatry, Health Care Profession Council and NHS guidelines. We want to tell you about some of the steps we take on a daily basis at each of our clinical sites:
In each of our locations we pay particular attention to the surfaces that customers and colleagues touch most regularly.
We use Chlorhexidine (Hibi Scrub) hand wash before and after each clients consultation.
We encourage clients to use Chlorhexadine Hibi Scrub handwashing or alcohol gel which is available at each clinical site.
Clinell Antibacterial wipes are used before and after each consultation to wipe the patient couch, chairs and any equipment used.
We are also being extra cautious in terms of any colleague signs of illness, isolating where necessary and going over and above the advice from government and the WHO. We are checking the following NHS 111 Covid-19 online information page daily: https://111.nhs.uk/covid-19
