➕ We have made hand sanitisers and hand-washing facilities available to all our team members and patients within the clinic. We are following best guidelines from the Department of Health for cleaning our clinic facilities, waiting areas and equipment.

This includes implementing the current social distancing guidelines (2m apart, 1 person per 4m squared inside).
