Sheridan Foot Health COVID-19 Guidelines:

In response to COVID-19, Sheridan Foot Health (Portchester) Ltd have made the following amendments to our daily practice. Maintaining a clean clinical area and use of sterile equipment has been a pre-existing practice within our establishment but additional procedures have been implemented due to the nature of COVID-19. This includes whilst providing our foot, skin, and ear health services,  in our clinic and whilst on home visits.

Before attending, if the client has any symptoms or has tested positive for COVID-19, we will not be able to see them until the 5-day period has passed. Although they are no longer legally required to self- isolate, this helps to prevent the risk of passing COVID-19 onto others.
