SOCIAL DISTANCING
Appointments will be managed to allow spacing between appointment times to enable sanitisation of treatment rooms. Only one service user permitted access at a time.
You will be encouraged to book appointments via telephone, electronically or via online booking system.
Treatment will be appointment only. Please be advised that no walk-in appointments will be available. Please wear a face covering but if you do not have one; one can be provided. A “no handshake policy” will be in force and you will be respectfully invited to wash your hands and use sanitiser on arrival.

Payment will be taken remotely where possible using prepayment, BACS transfer and use of card machine. If card machine is used, contactless is preferable and machine will be sanitised after each use.
