COVID 19 RE-OPENING
Due to Covid 19 Jackie Keane Reflexology has to implement new practices and procedures to open up for business and to meet the Government’s ‘Return to work Safely Protocol’ and to prevent the spread of COVID-19.
Please take some time to carefully read the following detailed information before arriving for your appointment.
In order to ensure the clinic is following the highest infection control measures I have completed training in Infection Prevention and Control for Covid 19 by the WHO, Methods for detection, prevention, response and control in respiratory viruses by the WHO and also training in how to put on and remove PPE. I am following guidelines from my governing body, the NRRI.
I would like to reassure you all that while things will be a little different than usual, your safety and well-being is, as always, my top priority. You will continue to receive the same level of care that you are used to here at Jackie Keane Reflexology.
I appreciate that you may have further questions, so please do not hesitate to contact me.
There is also further information available on the HSE website, www.HSE.ie
Please ensure you arrive promptly for your appointment so that all patients have their full allocated time.
This allows time for new intensified cleaning under government guidelines.
Thank you, I’m looking forward to welcoming you back to for your treatment.
