Coronavirus (COVID-19) - from 27th May 2022
As the risk of Covid-19 infection continues to fall in the UK, the Government have updated the legislation regarding Covid-19 Infection and Prevention Controls and have withdrawn the ruling to enforce the wearing of masks and PPE in healthcare clinical settings, unless there is a known Covid infection risk.
In response to this, the General Chiropractic Council has amended its clinical guidance for registrants, and patients and staff are no longer required to wear masks in clinic, unless there is risk of Covid-19 infection.
However, if you wish to continue to wear a mask, please feel free to do so, and if you would like us to do so, please just ask.
We will continue to undertake appropriate risk assessments, and in some instances, may continue to deploy necessary PPE.
