Hand Hygiene Procedure

Hand hygiene is an important part of infection control, not just for COVID-19 but for all forms of infection transmission.

Colchester Physiotherapy provides both hand washing facilities and alcohol based hand sanitiser for clinicians and patients and we require that both at the start and end of each treatment session the clinician and patient:

• Wash their hands in accordance with government guidelines (there is a poster on display within the clinic room for information on this)

• Use the hand sanitiser gel provided

Clinicians are also required to either wash their hands or use hand sanitiser before putting on PPE for any hands-on procedure and once any PPE has been removed following a hands-on procedure.

Hand sanitiser stations are also located throughout Colchester Fitness Centre (the facility in which Colchester Physiotherapy is located)
