Operating In A COVID Secure Environment

We Take Your Safety Seriously and Have Adapted Our Way of Practise During the Lockdown

We would like to reassure our patients that the following measures are in place to ensure the safety of our patients and practitioner.

We have implemented social distancing practices within the clinic as per government guidelines. With this in mind, we ask that only visitors of the clinic receiving a consultation, treatment or health assessment attend the clinic. Where possible we will be limiting the use of our waiting areas.
Individuals requiring care support are requested to please let us know prior to attending and we will of course facilitate this.

Patients will be required to wear a face mask when in the clinic and are encouraged to arrive with their own clean face mask. If there is any concern that the face mask might be contaminated we are able to provide a clean face mask for you. 

According to recent guidelines it is recommended that visitors to the clinic do not wear gloves but will be asked to hand sanitise prior to entering the clinic. The reason for this is that data suggests good hand hygiene practice plays a bigger role in prevention of infection. 

Your practitioner is subject to performing daily screening protocols for signs and symptoms of COVID-19. 


The St Albans Therapy Clinic would like to respectfully request any patients or other visitors NOT to attend the clinic if you or anyone in your household is showing any symptoms of Covid-19 or has been in contact with a confirmed case. Instead, you should isolate yourself at home and follow current NHS and government guidelines.
