The Physiotherapy Clinic at 亚博体育官网 is back
However, after considerable behind-the-scenes work, which has seen the appointment of two new members of staff, Rory Jack and Stuart Johnston, who are both Chartered Physiotherapist and members of the Health Care Practitioners Council (HCPC), The Physiotherapy Clinic at 亚博体育官网 is now open for 亚博体育官网 staff.
Stuart Johnston, who joins 亚博体育官网 from NHS Grampian, outlines what has changed and what clients might expect from the Clinic when the doors open.
鈥淚n light of the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic, we have had to make some significant changes to our service to ensure our patients, staff and wider community are as safe as possible, while being able to offer an excellent service.
鈥淔irstly, we will operate on a 鈥榲irtual first approach鈥�. This means that your first appointment will be done remotely through Zoom videocalls. From there, we can advise you on your situation and an appropriate course of action. This will typically include guidance on how you can better manage your situation and an individualised exercise-based rehabilitation plan.
鈥淚f your case can be managed effectively through remote appointments this will be the continued mode of delivery until such time as we are able to offer more face-to-face appointments. This is dependent on updated guidance from the Scottish government, the Chartered Society of Physiotherapist and the university.
鈥淲e are in a position to offer limited face-to-face appointment for those whose case requires an in-person assessment. However, a face-to-face appointment will only be offered following an initial videocall assessment with our physiotherapist. It is our hope that in the not so distant future we can resume a service that allows easier access to the clinic in person and a more traditional approach to physiotherapy.
鈥淲e look forward to welcoming you to the clinic, whether virtually, or in person, soon.鈥�
