South Scarborough Acupuncture Clinic is temporarily closed in line with the guidance from the British Acupuncture Council (BAcC – my governing body). They have asked us to postpone care for the time being, to play our part in slowing the spread of the coronavirus. The BAcC are investigating how acupuncturists may be able to support their clients and possibly add more pro-active care and support to that of the NHS. Meanwhile, as that goes on and is discussed and agreed remotely, I have signed up to Good Sam as a Check-in and Chat volunteer to help in some small way right now.
What is happening now
Current clients
I spent last Saturday contacting all clients with upcoming appointments, to let them know the situation. They will have priority for rebooking their appointments and I will add extra opening hours as needed, to ensure that they receive their treatments as soon as safely possible. Anyone still part of the New Year, New You programme will have it paused until we reopen. You will be able to pick up where we left off and not lose the offer savings.
I know that many of my clients find our chat an important part of their appointment and I have offered to continue this by phone for anyone who wants it, but especially those who may need to self-isolate. Please don’t forget this is there for you.
I’ve received a lot of messages of support from my clients and would just like to thank you all for your kind comments and concern. These are difficult days for us all, but supporting one another as we do, will help us get through it in better health.
Future clients
If you were considering making an appointment then please get in touch. I will be happy to arrange a telephone chat to discuss what acupuncture can do for you and you will then be next in line, after my current clients, for an appointment when we do re-open.
Going forward during the closure
While South Scarborough Acupuncture Clinic is temporarily closed I will be sharing tips and thoughts for health and well being through this blog and my Facebook page. It’s something that I’ve been meaning to do but as the clinic got busier I had less time to put into social media. Now, I’ve got the time to do it! Please pop back soon.
