FACE TO FACE APPOINTMENTS AT BURY PHYSIO CLINIC
We will be opening a face to face Physiotherapy clinic with Anna Clayton (Senior Physiotherapist/Partner) from Tuesday 19th May with appointments available from 10.30am.
Please note: Initially this clinic will be available only on Tuesdays, however clinic duration, days, appointment availability and Physiotherapy staff availability will increase with appointment demand, as we work to balance Government/CSP/NHS safety recommendations for social distancing.
Bury Physio continues to maintain best practice with our hygiene and sanitation provision by adhering to the NHS, Government and CSP guidelines. We are taking every measure to keep our community safe by helping reduce the risk or spread of Covid-19 during this pandemic.
Please visit our homepage www.buryphysio.co.uk for up to date information on available clinics.
General Physiotherapy appointment information:
- We ask patients to stay home if feeling sick or not feeling well or have a temperature above 37.5 degrees.
- Appointments will be spaced out with 10-15 minutes between each patient, we politely ask you remain in your car in the carpark or in the spaces outside the clinic to minimise people in the clinic.
- A member of our team will perform a screening questionnaire with you on your arrival.
- We will take a forehead temperature reading, available from the end of May.
- We will ask all patients to wash their hands before their appointment, use the
- sanitiser provided and wear a mask and gloves during their physio session (disposable products provided; however, you are welcome to bring your own if you prefer).
