The DHHS has determined that our osteopathic appointments can go ahead only if they meet the following criteria:
- to prevent a significant deterioration in functional independence which would result in an escalation of care needs (such as increased frequency in treatment, increase in prescription pain medication, specialist input, or substantial increase in recovery time as a result of delayed care)
- for assessment and diagnostic purposes for those people whose care has been delayed during stage 4 restrictions, and where further delay likely to result in deterioration (e.g. diagnostic imaging and assessment for prescription of assistive technology)
- to provide essential pre-operative or post-operative elective surgery care

- A mask will be compulsory for all patients and staff will be wearing appropriate personal protective equipment including a surgical grade mask and eye protection (we look silly, but no laughing please!) to help keep everyone safe
