Prior to Appointment:

• All clients considered vulnerable will be accommodated early in the day (if this is suitable)

 

Some Information about your visit.

• All visits/sessions will still be 60 minutes long, but not all of that 60 minutes will be in the Clinic:
  • 10 minutes will be given to your pre-session telephone call to confirm you do not have any symptoms of COVID 19 and to enquire your reason for attending.
  • 40 minutes will be face to face in the clinic.
  • 10 minutes will be used by the therapist to write up your ‘homework’ after the session and email this to you.
• If this is your first visit, the pre-session call will last longer as there is more information to be discussed.
  • The total time of this first session will be 90 minutes in total and will incur a greater charge.
• If you are bringing your child for a session, please ensure they are aware of these guidelines and provide them with a mask where appropriate.
• It is no longer viable to bring multiple children into the Clinic. Only children who are being tested can attend with an adult.
• Due to COVID 19 restrictions, it is no longer possible to bring your belongings into the treatment room.
• Please, where possible, leave all belongings at home or in your car – bag, scarf, hat… Coats can be placed on the back of the chair.
• You may also bring any nutrition you are currently taking for testing in a paper bag. You can place this on the chair so the therapist can have easy access to it during the session.
• Please bring your own WATER to the session for drinking during the session.

 

• Pre-session Call:
  • The first 10 minutes of the session will be held via phone call.
  • This call will happen 2/3 days in advance of the session.
  • During this call, the client will be asked their reason for appointment and confirm they do not have any of the COVID 19 symptoms as stated by HSE.
  • The client will also be asked to confirm that they have not been in contact with anyone who has had symptoms of COVID 19 or been diagnosed with COVID 19 in the last 14 days.
  • This conversation will be recorded in clients notes.
  • There is a standard once-off permissions and acceptance of policies and procedures form that you will fill in prior to attending.
  • The morning of your visit to the Clinic you will receive a text asking if any answers to your questions during the call have changed and you will be asked if your temperature is normal.
  • If you or unsure of your temperature, or the therapist feels the need, they will take your temperature prior to beginning treatment.

• Please go to the bathroom before travelling to your appointment - to avoid using the bathroom in the clinic if possible
  • (Bathroom is available to clients who need to use it and will be cleaned before and after visits).

During Your Appointment:
