Clinic Update - Virtual Consultations

Wednesday 25th March 2020

Thank you for all your support and kind messages over the past 48 hours in response to our email sent out Sunday evening.

We would like to clarify that although we have closed the clinics, this is a temporary measure only and we remain here to support you with physio and clinical Pilates.

Following yesterday's statement from the Prime Minister and new guidelines from our governing bodies the CSP and PhysioFirst, we now have clarity in what we can offer in this interim period.

Physio Telephone/Virtual Consultations

As of immediate effect, we can offer telephone or virtual consultations for MSK and Pelvic & Women's Health physiotherapy. 

To book a time slot:

Please call on 01473 810185 or email us on enquiries@hadleighphysio.co.uk

We have had confirmation from several insurance companies that they are now happy for us to proceed with remote consultations.  We will contact you if this option is available to you.

Emergency Cases

If during the telephone or virtual consultation and through a structured process of triage, we deem your condition to be urgent, i.e. if not treated would result in your need to attend a GP surgery or Emergency Department, we can under new government guidelines bring you into clinic.

Please be assured that if we are called upon to assist in the acute NHS sector, we will cease any face to face contact but virtual consultations will not be compromised.

Please note this automatically excludes all clients who are in self-isolation or who have been contacted by the NHS Coronavirus Service and identified as someone at risk of severe illness should they catch coronavirus.

Clinical Pilates

Moving forwards we have clarity that we can offer virtual classes and 1:1 sessions.  Please await further communication and our apologies for any confusion caused to date.

We thank you for your continued support during this difficult time whilst we navigate through our challenged and ever changing business model. We will continue to keep you updated on what we can offer, but in the interim, please stay home, stay safe, for the sake of your family, friends and local community, our priority being your health and well-being.

Yours sincerely
Will & Charlotte Dykes

Coronavirus Update

Wednesday 18th March 2020

Following the government's press briefing yesterday afternoon, we have reviewed their recommendations closely and are adapting some of our services accordingly.

Physio Clinics/Clinical Pilates 1:1 sessions:

We have made the decision to continue running clinics and Clinical Pilates 1:1 sessions in Ipswich and Hadleigh only *. Please only attend these appointments if you and your household are well and symptom free.

We acknowledge the new guidance in relation to ‘social distancing’ recommended by Public Health England, particularly for those in the ‘at risk categories’ and ask that you contact the office at your earliest convenience to inform us if you wish to cancel an appointment.

Pilates Classes:

Effective immediately, the remaining classes for this term are cancelled.  This has been a difficult decision to make as we identify the importance of exercise and well-being but feel that we need to adhere to government advice.  As an alternative, for the remainder of the term we are offering that you book in for a 30 minute 1:1 session with Lottie to formulate a home exercise programme.

We thank you for your continued support at this challenging time.

* Our Sudbury clinic will be temporarily suspended due to the nature of being in a GP practice who are trying to reduce their patient flow.  Please note that if you currently have an appointment booked in Sudbury we will be in touch to reschedule to one of our other practice locations.

Important Information - Coronavirus

Wednesday 4th March 2020

Dear Client
 
As you will be aware the spread of Coronavirus continues; as healthcare professionals who deal with many clients on a day to day basis, some of whom are vulnerable to respiratory illnesses, we write to you asking the following:

1. If you have visited specific regions in Northern Italy and other ‘Category 1’ countries (see link below), it is now advised that self-isolation for a period of 14 days is required upon return even if you are asymptomatic.  In this case could you please cancel your appointment and reschedule giving the necessary 24 hours’ notice.
2. If you have visited any Category 2 countries (see link below), you do not need to undertake any special measures, but should you develop any symptoms please ring 111 and self-isolate. This is also important if you have been in contact with anyone who has travelled from any of these areas.  In this case, could you please contact the practice to make us aware and should you develop symptoms then please cancel and reschedule your appointment as above.
3. Please follow the above procedures if you attend any of our Pilates classes.

 
Further information can be found:
 
https://www.gov.uk/government/publications/covid-19-specified-countries-and-areas/covid-19-specified-countries-and-areas-with-implications-for-returning-travellers-or-visitors-arriving-in-the-uk
 
Coronavirus presents with flu-like symptoms including a fever and difficulty breathing. The current evidence is that most cases appear to be mild.
 
As advised by the Department of Health:
 
If you get a high temperature or feel short of breath and have visited any Category 1 or 2 countries within the last 14 days, you should:

• Stay indoors and avoid contact with other people
• Call NHS 111 to inform them of your symptoms

 Please follow this advice even if your symptoms are minor.

• DO NOT go to your GP surgery
• DO NOT go to A&E

It is important during these times to remain calm and measured; we hope you understand that these precautions are being taken to ensure that the health of our clients is protected as much as possible without generating unnecessary concern.
 
Yours sincerely
