Please read it through. We all find ourselves in unchartered and challenging territory which changes daily. I have decided, as a result of the guidance from the Institute of Osteopathy, to keep the Clinic open at reduced times, for those who need us, for the reasons given below. We will of course uphold the strictest and most stringent levels of hygiene and sanitation for everyone visiting the clinic. I have outlined our Health and Safety measures below. I will assess this situation daily if there is any reason at all that I think the Clinic should close I will close it immediately. I would never put the health and safety of my patients and staff at risk. If you would like to call me and talk about doing some exercises or stretches to help continue your progress until we can resume treatment, call me on my mobile, 07887 804165 Very best wishes to everyone, stay well and stay safe. Jeremy A summary as follows: COVID-19 message from the iO President 24 March 2020 The Prime Minister’s bulletin yesterday evening declared “a moment of national emergency” and said that “the way ahead is hard”. The entire UK osteopathic profession has been agonising about what we should be doing – closing our practices and denying our patients' osteopathic care or continuing to play a significant role in the healthcare of our country. As the crisis deepens, our choices are starker, but we are now able to offer more definite guidance, based on what other health professionals are telling us. The role which osteopaths are able to play in the Coronavirus pandemic is becoming clearer. As we have already said, there has been a great deal of communication within the UK and European osteopathic profession, with related healthcare professions like physiotherapy, and with NHS England, Public Health England and Health Education England. For those osteopaths who are willing and well, remaining available to treat acute or urgent patients will help to reduce the burden on the NHS, GP practices and MSK services. A number of GP practices and physio departments have closed so that the health workers can be deployed to treat more urgent cases or substitute where staff have fallen ill. This means that there is a big gap in the health system which we, as registered osteopaths and allied health professionals, are well qualified to fill. Today, Maurice Cheng (Chief Executive) has spoken to a number of health professionals and commissioners within the NHS who make it clear that, at this moment, it is inappropriate to declare Osteopathy closed because “they need us to stay open” and we osteopaths provide a very useful public service. We are able to reduce the pressure on acute medical services and hospital beds. We also understand that the children of osteopaths are eligible to go to school as osteopaths count as essential health workers. We know of particular schools where this is the case. We recommend that if a patient is able to delay their treatment because it is not urgent or essential, then it would be better to avoid the risk of contact. Only urgent or necessary treatments should be given. This includes patients with chronic conditions, for example, severe scoliosis, where stopping treatment will lead tomore intractable health problems. Attention to infection control, triaging ahead of any engagement, and defining what is urgent and what is not, is a combination of patient choice and professional judgement. This is what other healthcare professions also working in private practice are doing. We are liaising closely with Physio First, the private branch of the Chartered Society of Physiotherapists to ensure our advice to healthcare professionals in the private sector is consistent and puts safety first The current crisis requires that all possible sources of help are mobilised. It is also necessary that the risk to health workers (that means us) is minimised. Osteopaths who work in the NHS have clearly expressed the opinion that “we need osteopaths in the NHS”. With the currently strained workforce, this has never been more true. We will continue to engage with the health and public health bodies to see how the osteopathic profession can help as part of the national crisis management plan, as I know many of you want to support our NHS services in this challenging time.

WE CAN HELP YOU What to expect when you visit our osteopaths: You will be listened to and understood – more > Your first visit will take up to an hour. You will be able to tell your osteopath all about your symptoms, how much pain you are suffering, how long you have been suffering and how it is affecting your life and the lives of those around you. Back and joint pain can be very debilitating and your osteopath needs to know all the details. In addition to your current symptoms, your osteopath will then need to take your full medical history particularly any past episodes of back or joint pain. You will be examined and your situation fully explained – more > You will normally be asked to remove some clothing so that a series of observations and biomechanical assessments can be made. If you are not comfortable with undressing you can wear loose sports clothing. During the assessment you can add any information that you may have forgotten to say and show your osteopath directly where you feel the pain. Your osteopath will discuss a treatment plan with you which will be individually designed and tailor–made to meet your needs and puts you in control of your health – more > After making a diagnosis your osteopath will fully explain the nature of your problem often using anatomical charts so that you know and understand what has happened to your body. The next stage is to form a treatment plan. This plan will be for osteopathic treatment but there will also be advice about exercises and activities you can do to endorse your treatment and strengthen your back and joints as you go. This may also include advice on posture, exercise and diet as well as your general lifestyle if these are contributing to your problem. The way that you have been leading your life has brought you to this point and together we need to look at ways of changing and improving your lifestyle to support your recovery and maintain your on-going health. For example, if you sit at a desk for many hours of the day, you may be able to improve your work station to give you a better posture. You will receive direct, hands-on treatment and advice on your first visit – more > Treatment will begin on your first visit. If you have never been to an osteopath before then it’s important to know that osteopathic treatment doesn’t involve machines, its purely a hands-on examination and palpation with treatment using a broad range of gentle hands-on techniques including soft tissue stretching, deep tactile pressure, and mobilisation or manipulation of joints.. Don’t worry – your osteopath will explain what he/she is doing as they go along. Follow up treatments are half an hour, and at this stage the number and interval of follow-up treatments will be discussed Your involvement in your treatment is as important as ours. It is an active decision to recover, following tailor-made exercise programs and effecting lifestyle changes will endorse and enforce the osteopathic treatment. Good health concerns your entire well-being and is not simply an absence of disease. If necessary we may occasionally need to refer you for further investigations such as an MRI scan or an X-ray.

Please read it through. We all find ourselves in unchartered and challenging territory which changes daily. I have decided, as a result of the guidance from the Institute of Osteopathy, to keep the Clinic open at reduced times, for those who need us, for the reasons given below. We will of course uphold the strictest and most stringent levels of hygiene and sanitation for everyone visiting the clinic. I have outlined our Health and Safety measures below. I will assess this situation daily if there is any reason at all that I think the Clinic should close I will close it immediately. I would never put the health and safety of my patients and staff at risk. If you would like to call me and talk about doing some exercises or stretches to help continue your progress until we can resume treatment, call me on my mobile, 07887 804165 Very best wishes to everyone, stay well and stay safe. Jeremy A summary as follows: COVID-19 message from the iO President 24 March 2020 The Prime Minister’s bulletin yesterday evening declared “a moment of national emergency” and said that “the way ahead is hard”. The entire UK osteopathic profession has been agonising about what we should be doing – closing our practices and denying our patients' osteopathic care or continuing to play a significant role in the healthcare of our country. As the crisis deepens, our choices are starker, but we are now able to offer more definite guidance, based on what other health professionals are telling us. The role which osteopaths are able to play in the Coronavirus pandemic is becoming clearer. As we have already said, there has been a great deal of communication within the UK and European osteopathic profession, with related healthcare professions like physiotherapy, and with NHS England, Public Health England and Health Education England. For those osteopaths who are willing and well, remaining available to treat acute or urgent patients will help to reduce the burden on the NHS, GP practices and MSK services. A number of GP practices and physio departments have closed so that the health workers can be deployed to treat more urgent cases or substitute where staff have fallen ill. This means that there is a big gap in the health system which we, as registered osteopaths and allied health professionals, are well qualified to fill. Today, Maurice Cheng (Chief Executive) has spoken to a number of health professionals and commissioners within the NHS who make it clear that, at this moment, it is inappropriate to declare Osteopathy closed because “they need us to stay open” and we osteopaths provide a very useful public service. We are able to reduce the pressure on acute medical services and hospital beds. We also understand that the children of osteopaths are eligible to go to school as osteopaths count as essential health workers. We know of particular schools where this is the case. We recommend that if a patient is able to delay their treatment because it is not urgent or essential, then it would be better to avoid the risk of contact. Only urgent or necessary treatments should be given. This includes patients with chronic conditions, for example, severe scoliosis, where stopping treatment will lead tomore intractable health problems. Attention to infection control, triaging ahead of any engagement, and defining what is urgent and what is not, is a combination of patient choice and professional judgement. This is what other healthcare professions also working in private practice are doing. We are liaising closely with Physio First, the private branch of the Chartered Society of Physiotherapists to ensure our advice to healthcare professionals in the private sector is consistent and puts safety first The current crisis requires that all possible sources of help are mobilised. It is also necessary that the risk to health workers (that means us) is minimised. Osteopaths who work in the NHS have clearly expressed the opinion that “we need osteopaths in the NHS”. With the currently strained workforce, this has never been more true. We will continue to engage with the health and public health bodies to see how the osteopathic profession can help as part of the national crisis management plan, as I know many of you want to support our NHS services in this challenging time.
