Covid-19 Measures

These additional measures  have been put in place to minimise the risk and contact time, ensuring the safety of my clients and myself and will be in place until further notice.  They are in accordance with Government Guidelines, my regulatory body, The British Acupuncture Association (BAA) and my insurers.  

​

The information below details the new two step process, PPE requirements and Test and Trace procedure.  Appointments will be staggered throughout the day to avoid encountering others and to allow for a thorough disinfectant cleaning between clients.

​

Anyone who is unwell or shows signs of Covid-19 will be asked not to attend their appointment.
