I thought I’d share a photo diary as an insight into my life during these crazy times.
Let us start with what’s not been happening . . .
Here is a picture of my desk at work.
Can you tell what’s missing?
My PC!
I’m no longer working at the Clinic.
I’ve moved everything home.
Like millions of others my PC is set up on the kitchen table. Although I’ve got the screen and keyboard set with the correct ergonomics. I’ve not bought my office chair home with me. But … believe it or not the old kitchen chair is better!
If you’re struggling with your home set up then check out my blog on ergonomics if you want some tips and advice for yourself.
An Empty Clinic
I have had to drop into the clinic a few times. I took this picture on my first trip back after we’d stopped routine treatment.
We’ve been very careful during the lockdown with strict procedures for who, when and why anyone’s allowed in the clinic. Although we’ve seen a few patient’s in critical need, we’ve managed to help most people remotely.
Call for FREE Remote Support and Advice
If you want to speak to a chiropractor then call our normal number 01323 722499 between 10am and 6pm any weekday and you’ll speak to our duty chiropractor. We’ll happily help remotely with advice or even a video consultation.
Spring Cleaning
We’ve used this quiet time to do maintenance and a thorough Spring Clean.
Here’s the pile of laundry and files to be archived.
We’ve also been doing a lot of Covid-19 risk Assessments and Covid-19 Health and Safety work.
As part of our Health and Safety reviews we’ve been making some structural changes at the clinic. We’re making sure that the clinic is safe and ready for when it’s appropriate to start seeing people again.
UVc Germicidal Tubes – Kills Covid-19 Dead
We’ve fitted industrial standard, state of the art UVc Germicidal Tubes into some of the treatment rooms. We’re trialing the tubes now as part of our sterilization routines.
Here is a picture of the hallway full of the installer’s equipment.
It’s been a slow process as there’s been a long waiting list but fortunately, we put our order in well before the lock down as part of our pro-active approach to Covid-19 transmission control.
Their high powered UVc radiation is deadly to viruses and bacteria. They’re proving an excellent and thorough method of room cleaning after use.
Check out this video showing the UVc Germicidal Radiation tubes in action in room 1.
Chiropractors and Osteopaths are not Required to Close
Government legislation and our regulating body the General Chiropractic Council have made provision for chiropractors to remain open. That allows chiropractors to help ease the load on the NHS and provide critical musculoskeletal services to those people whose treatment is urgent.
Although we are not required to be closed, we are currently closed because wanted to take this time to make sure we could provide a safe working environment our patients and team.
Your safety is our primary concern.
Travel to and from Your Chiropractic Treatment IS Allowed
The Government also detailed that travel to and from chiropractic and osteopathy appointments is an acceptable and legitimate reason to leave your house. I’m afraid at the moment it’s only the most critical cases that we’re seeing at the moment. Our first concern is the health and welfare of our patients.
We know that these are worrying and unprecedented times for everyone. The stress isn’t helping anyone and the longer people wait for their treatment the worse their symptoms are getting.
However, I’m afraid we’re not seeing any routine cases at the moment. So please call for FREE PHONE HELP. We will also carry out video assessments if needed.
There are more health and safety precautions we want in place before we start seeing more people.
So for now please make use of our FREE phone advice service. Don’t suffer in silence.
