At the Hip-Hub we are committed to keep our patients and staff safe. We would there for like to reassure you that we are following the current Coronavirus Government guidelines set out for professionals working within healthcare. All our staff have undertaken mandatory training in infection control, PPE and basic life support in relation to the current government COVID-19 guidelines.
Due to the continued risk of infection we ensure a Covid screen is conducted for each new patient, to ensure we keep the best interests of the patient whilst also ensuring the safety of the treating clinician, staff, other patients and members of the public.
We require all patients to sign a COVID-19 consent form prior to appointment. Consent will include but not limited to: the close patient contact required for manual treatment and risks of transmission and exposure, the level of PPE that a clinician will be required to wear to mitigate the risk of transmission and the infection prevention and control measures that will be taken.
We urge any of our patients not to attend clinic if you have any of the following symptoms:
Due to the close proximity to patients required to undertake treatment, heightened measures of infection control and the use of PPE is recommended to reduce the risk of transmission to and from the patient/clinician. Public Health England (PHE) is regularly updating and issuing new PPE guidance in response to the changing nature of the virus. All staff and students within the Hip Hub are adhering to PHE and BASRAT guidance regarding PPE during face to face consultations and continue to practice good hand hygiene and social distancing within clinic.
The general guidelines set out by the Government concerning social distancing, self-isolating, testing, and other matters, can be found on https://www.gov.uk/coronavirus
