On the 5th of May 2020 Audiology professional bodies including AHIPP, BAA, BSA and BSHAA released joint clinical guidance for Audiology practitioners to update all members on how to practice safely during the Covid-19 Pandemic. The guidance has been collated with input from the infection control society and ENT UK. At Otec Hearing we have now put in place a Covid-19 PPE policy to take all the necessary precautions set out by our professional bodies. These include…
· Fluid-resistant facemasks for the Audiologist
· Surgical facemasks for patients
· Disinfecting clinics between appointments
· Handwashing between appointments
· Single-use gloves
· Sterile single-use testing equipment
· 70% alcohol hand sanitiser
We are committed to setting our high standards even higher to ensure our clients’ needs are met and are treated in the safest way/environment possible. To find out more information or to read the joint clinical guidance please visit BSHAA
