​

The health and safety of everyone who comes to Ashdon Acupuncture Clinic is paramount. In accordance with The British Acupuncture Council (BAcC) Covid-19 safe practice policy, please read current guidelines below (as of January 2022 and subject to change).

​

Before your appointment

We need to check whether it is safe to treat you at the moment and will therefore ask you to read and sign the BAcC Covid-19 consent form (please find link at the bottom of this page) before your treatment can go ahead. If it is not safe to treat you, a telephone or online consultation may be an alternative.

​

Going to the Clinic

Please travel light and take very little with you into the clinic. If possible, leave bags and coats in the car. A wipeable ‘bucket’ will be available for belongings and clothes. Please attend the clinic alone unless you need a chaperone, parent or carer.

​

Your Treatment

Special arrangements are now in place to safeguard you when you go for acupuncture:

• You will be asked to use the hand sanitizer on arrival and following  your treatment at the clinic

• Consultations will take place at a 2m distance (as before). During the  treatment, I will be wearing a mask and would request that you do the same.

You can either bring your own or masks will be available in the clinic.

• Towels are changed after each patient.

• Massage techniques will be carried out wearing gloves and are limited at this time. Heat lamps and moxa are unaffected.

​

After your treatment

The clinic treatment room is thoroughly cleaned, disinfected and aired between patients.

If you develop Covid-19 symptoms, or receive a confirmed diagnosis within 48 hours of attending Ashdon Acupuncture, please inform: NHS Test and Trace Service and Ashdon Acupuncture.

I’m sure you will understand these protocols are for everyone’s safety.

Appointments can be made by phone: 07841263020 or 01799 584494, or by email: acu@ashdonacupuncture.co.uk
