COVID-19 Announcement

Due to the current pandemic, I am writing to keep you informed of operations within Catherine Clark - Integrated Health. 

Supporting the health and well-being of everyone is my upmost priority during this time, and it is for this reason that I have decided to make the following temporary changes (based on Government recommendations) to my clinical practice. These include:

  1. Increased efforts to thoroughly disinfectant all relevant surfaces on days when the clinic is open - door handles, tables, chairs, equipment etc..
  2. Use of paper hand towels in the bathroom.
  3. A hand sanitiser is readily available and I ask that you use this sanitiser upon your arrival. 
  4. If you are experiencing any cold or flu-like symptoms (fever, cough, sore throat), please contact me to arrange an online appointment, rather than attending your appointment in person. 
  5. I encourage online/phone appointments during this time as a viable alternative to face-to-face appointments. 
  6. If you have returned from overseas travel, have been in contact with an infected person, or are experiencing symptoms such as fever, cough, sore throat, please follow the governments recommended two-week isolation period. 
Given the circumstances are presently changing at a rapid pace, I will endeavour to keep you posted should any further changes be needed. 

The present situation is a difficult time for small business/ sole traders. Government assistance efforts do not offer any support to individuals who make their living in the manner that I do. I urge you to please continue to support your local small business during the following months. 

In addition, now is an important time to not only practise self-care but also to actively care for one another. As I am sure you have all witnessed, there has been much 'panic buying' at the supermarkets which has resulted in a shortage of available supplies in some areas. I have observed a similar effect regarding practitioner supplement supplies. I ask for patience during this time and an understanding that alternatives can be sourced. 

Warm Regards,
Catherine
