Following advice from the College of Podiatry
Betafeet Podiatry has been part of the local community for many years and we’re proud to offer your local independent Podiatry Services. Being available and caring for our clients is at the heart of everything we do and what we stand for.
Like many of you, we’re closely monitoring the impact of Coronavirus (COVID-19) and what measures we need to put in place, to ensure the wellbeing of you, our clients, and colleagues.
But we’re still open!
Please rest assured that if you need an appointment, our staff are self-monitoring their own health and maintaining our usual high standards of infection control.
Coronavirus: treating patients
Following the Government’s announcement on 16 March, the College of Podiatry has advised that our medical service can still continue to treat patients, both in clinic and via home visits, as long as universal precautions are used and Government advice is followed.
Current government advice is to carry on as normal with patients who do not have symptoms or have not travelled abroad to the list of countries in the guidance. If you feel you are immunocompromised then you may wish to seek guidance from your GP or occupational health department.
We may pre-screen patients, and if you are symptomatic or are self-isolating due to being in contact with the virus, we ask that you rearrange your appointment
It is your individual responsibility to perform a risk assessment for yourself, as per government advice.
We may wish to pre-screen some patients by contacting them before they attend the clinic or have a home visit, to confirm they are not unwell. If you are not well we advise you to dial 111 (if appropriate) and rearrange your appointment with us.
It’s very much business as usual.
Social distancing or isolation? Social distancing doesn’t mean you have to lock yourself away completely, and it certainly isn’t the same as quarantine or a government-enforced lockdown. The idea is to reduce the amount of contact each person has with others. Please keep your podiatry appointments as usual as long as you have not travelled to any high risk areas, not been in contact with any that has travelled to high risk areas and do not have symptoms of COVID-19 such as a cough, fever or shortness of breath.
We’ll continue to monitor the situation and update you if anything changes. Our website and social media channels will stay active and you’ll be able to find updates and information there too.
