Hi Angela,
That’s great to hear you’re starting next week; hope all goes well for you and if you get the time please let me know how it went!
Best of luck
PamHi Angela,
I’ve just read the link you gave and I would say that’s the definite thumbs up. Although I still plan to start at the beginning of June as Canonbury haven’t sent me the PPE I ordered yet! Also, it’s going to take quite a bit of time and organization to contact and book months worth of appointments for people who will also need to be questioned and informed as to their personal circumstances re: shielding/risk etc and have new practice procedures explained to them prior to said appointment ( phew!! I’m tired already!!)
Are you still planning on June or earlier?
Best regards,
PamHi Angela,
On the topic of the “anxious return “ I was thinking on a more positive note that once we get a good routine going it will soon start to feel more familiar and therefore hopefully less stressful. Also, let’s remember, it won’t be forever!!
When it’s over, it’s going to feel totally liberating!!
Thanks for your supportive reply, it was very much appreciated
Very best regards,
PamHi Angela,
In relation to yours and Gillian’s very interesting posts,I’m now planning to return to work on the first week in June; slightly dependant upon receiving the face visors and 11R face masks I ordered from Canonbury ( that I nearly had to sell my house to buy!!) and what Boris has to say on Thursday regarding the possibility of a lockdown extension. I know we are classed as key workers but the lockdown situation has a big effect on the publics decision to venture out, even for healthcare.
I also agree that we are within our rights to increase fees slightly to reflect the increased costs and reduction in patient numbers, I think people will understand this.
I’m not looking forward to returning to work at the moment, all things considered, which is sad because I’ve always loved my job
Good luck for your return,
PamHello all,
The real dilemma of restarting is that those patients who are at risk of complications if they don’t receive regular treatments are also the ones who are at most risk from leaving their homes and travelling to the surgery. Even though I know I will be following guidelines to the letter, I feel uneasy inviting patients back if there is even the slightest risk to them. I’m finding the whole scenario very disconcerting ( perhaps I’m overthinking it)
The guidelines to treat do seem to have a few grey areas that leave the onus with the practitioner. I rather wish they would give us all a definite set date that we should return, still with all PPE etc in place.
