Coronavirus update

Coronavirus
Posted 19/03/20

We are continuing to keep a close eye on the latest updates from the Government, NHS and Public Health England, as well as our individual governing bodies.

At present we are risk-assessing whether we continue providing face-to-face contact to clients on an individualised basis and discussing it closely with them and their family and carers as appropriate. For some of our clients we recognise that stopping hands-on therapy may increase their risk of a hospital admission therefore we will continue to offer a service to this group for as long as possible, taking all necessary precautions as we do so to minimise the risk of infection to both clients and staff.

For other clients (existing and new) we will be providing telephone and video consultations as needed so please do get in touch if this is something you are interested in.

Some of our therapists will be joining frontline staff in the NHS to do what they can to help during this difficult time and this will naturally impact on our capacity as a team so please do bear with us.

We hope that you all stay well and please do let us know if we can help in any way.

All the very best to you and your loved ones,

Kirsty and the Bristol Neurophysio Team.

Some kind words

I had a Stroke 18 months ago and only contacted Bristol Neurophysio six weeks ago. I had a prompt response and appointment made for the following week, unfortunately I had to cancel this due to illness. Kirsty was extremely understanding and rescheduled immediately. I have had three sessions since and am extremely pleased with my progress towards my wish to walk, for the first time I feel this will happen. It is hard work and tiring but Kirsty is always cheerful and encouraging and each time makes the tasks achievable. At last someone understands what it's like for me and takes time to explain how my Stroke has affected me. Watch this space as I'm sure I will be posting a new testimonial when I am walking again.
