Prioritising patient safety

Patient safety is of paramount importance to us at The Edinburgh Clinic.

As we resume clinical services, we are further strengthening our already stringent patient safety measures. This will further protect our patients, staff and consultants from Covid-19.

In addition to extensive cleaning across the Clinic, patient screening measures, mandatory face mask rules and social distancing measures, we have taken the additional new steps to guard against the coronavirus:

• All staff at The Edinburgh Clinic are currently being vaccinated against Covid-19
• Lateral flow testing will also be provided to all patient-facing staff, providing further protection to our patients and team
• All patients booked in for surgery requiring general anaesthetic will receive a Covid test 72 hours prior to the procedure and advised to isolate until the operation
• All patients booked in for procedures requiring local anaesthetic will be risk assessed beforehand, and may receive a Covid test 72 hours prior to the operation and advised to isolate until the procedure.

To ensure our team can provide an exceptional standard of care and service to our patients we have temporarily suspended the provision of some services. These services include:

• Cardiology
