Patient Journey

Information about Clinical Procedures during the pandemic

The appointments booked will be longer than normal and also more widespread to allow for the extra cleaning measures required during the pandemic.
Priority will be given to emergencies and urgent treatments.
At the beginning we may not be able to provide our full range of treatments or to do so we may need to follow strict PPE and cleaning protocols and try to minimise any Aerosol Generating Procedures (spraying, drilling, scaling etc).
Extra staff may be utilised to ensure the extra cleaning and preparing requirements are met.
The clinical staff will need to use special protective equipment for themselves and the patients, in order to provide any aerosol-generating procedures. The surgery will then need to be isolated for up to 1h to allow for any formed droplets to settle down. A strict cleaning protocol is to be followed, including floor moping, to ensure the surgery is decontaminated and safe to be reused.
As described, when aerosol-generating procedures are required, they may incur an additional cost to allow for the extra equipment, materials, staff, time and surgeries required to ensure the safety of our patients and our staff.

Temperature testing

Routine temperature screening (patients and staff) will be carried out to reduce the risk of disease transmission
Temperature should be taken immediately when patients attend, if their temperature is high (≥37.8°C) the appointment should be cancelled and postponed until a later date.

When you have finished your appointment

We will escort you back to reception to book any future appointments, sign any documents and for payment.
Before you touch anything, please use the hand sanitizer.
When you are ready to go please use the hand sanitizer again and exit the practice from the back, following our one-way system.

We look forward to seeing you again.
