I am delighted to share with you that Dermasurge Clinic will reopen with social distancing measures in place from the 1st of June for urgent appointments.

social distancing measures at Dermasurge Clinic

 

 

We have been preparing the clinic to welcome patients and ensure they receive the very best of care with social distancing measures in place. Safety measures have been taken in place to minimise risk as much as possible, and patient contact will be kept to an absolute minimum in line with a medical need. COVID-19 is extremely contagious and is believed to spread by person-to-person contact; and, as a result, social distancing is mandatory.

We take the responsibility of protecting your health very seriously. That is why in accordance to strict infection control procedures and stringent risk assessment guidelines we have taken appropriate social distancing measures to welcome you back safely.

 

Based on government advice, we have instituted the following measures:

  1. Our clinic will be deep cleaned, disinfected and sanitised regularly throughout the day and between patients. Door handles and shared surfaces will be cleaned with a powerful hospital-grade disinfectant during the day and after the clinic closes. social distancing measures at and deep cleaning clinic Dermasurge clinic Harley street
  2. Clinic staff will be wearing face masks and eye protection when dealing with patients.
  3. Patients and staff attending the clinic will be screened and we will ensure social distancing measures are followed. When you arrive, your temperature will be taken with a radar thermometer. Anyone showing symptoms will not be admitted to the clinic and advised to return home and self-isolate for 14 days as per current UK government guidance. Please DO NOT book a face to face appointment at the clinic if you have:
    1. A high temperature (>37.5ºC).
    2. A new persistent cough.
    3. A loss of or change to your sense of smell or taste.

    6. Once you finish your consultation or treatment, you will then be asked to sanitise your hands before you leave.
