Since the 14th of March, current guidance for secondary health care workers is that provided we remain non-symptomatic and follow steps outlined by the Department of Health and Social Care (COVID 19 Guidance for infection prevention and control in healthcare settings) we are able to continue to administer physiotherapy on patients who do not have symptoms or have not been required to self isolate. 
Waiting room chairs and patient beds as well as any object that is required to be used in treatment and or waiting rooms are being disinfected between patients. Alcohol gel and hand washing facilities are freely available whenever you require them. Our cleaning and hygiene logs are available upon request.  
There will be no late cancellation fees for any patient who has become ill or required to self isolate. We will update this blog regularly as government guidance dictates.
