Traditional Acupuncture

We have taken advice and will be following the guidelines based on the NHS information. Thank you to all my loyal clients, I hope to see you soon.

Hello. In view of the relaxation of the need to Covid isolate,  I have to insist that anyone not feeling well with a cold or Covid symptoms should postpone any appointment. I would hope that people would continue to isolate if Covid positive or still test to check. As you can imagine, all of us on the frontline are vulnerable and for my safety and for the safety of others please test or delay an appointment if there is any doubt.  The remainder of the update here follows NHS guidelines and Safe practice.
Thank you for your cooperation.

Please note the following guidelines will stay in place in my clinics even after any general relaxation of measures. It is a requirement from our insurers through the British Acupuncture Council that we continue to wear masks and require our patients to do the same and continue with safe practice. With close contact therapies like ours the Government also recommends the wearing of masks.

(If you have been exempt from wearing masks for medical reasons please let me know).

I am, also conscious of the fact that two vaccine jabs are no guarantee of protection against Covid variants and we all need to be careful. I and other frontline healthcare workers rely on your good sense to protect each other – Many thanks.

In order to protect myself and to protect my clients and their families, I ask that you comply with the following when attending the clinic:

Please follow instructions into the clinic.

Wear a face mask / face cover at all times when you are in the clinic and during treatment.

Keep social distance wherever possible.

Clean your hands with hand gel (provided) when entering and leaving the clinic.

Avoid handshakes.

Not engage in any unnecessary physical contact.

If you need to have a chaperone, I would ask that they wait in the waiting room (Launceston & Callington) or their car (Plymouth).

‍

PLEASE DO NOT ATTEND AN APPOINTMENT if you have any of the following:

1. Have any flu or cold-like symptoms, specifically a sore throat, body ache, chill or fever, cough, loss of taste and smell, headaches and any topical symptoms from new Covid variants.

2. Have contacted anyone who has the above symptoms in the last 14 days.

3. Have had COVID-19 and tests have not confirmed you are COVID-19 negative.

4. Have come back from any COVID-19 epidemic area within the last 14 days.
