We would like to thank you for your continued support. Your health and wellbeing has always been at the heart of everything we do at Parkgate Podiatry.

How we are safeguarding you

We have made the following changes to how we operate as your health is paramount:

• Only a patient with an appointment will be admitted into our clinic at their appointment time. Our receptionist will invite you into our clinic.

• Hand sanitiser is provided on entry to and exit from our clinic.

• All staff at the clinic now wear full PPE in addition to our usual masks. Masks will also be provided for patients who arrive without one. There will be a small charge for providing a mask.

• We have installed screens in our reception area and are also providing screens for patients during treatments.

• Appointments are staggered to ensure social distancing and allow for additional cleaning between EVERY patient. Our waiting area has been suspended to avoid unnecessary contact in the reception area.

• We would prefer payment by contactless card. Our card machine is disinfected after each use.

What you must do to safeguard others
