Providing Podiatry Treatment  for Adults and Minors 

COVID-19

Your health and wellbeing is important to us.
Our aim is to provide the correct level of Personal Protective Equipment to offer a professional service to meet your needs.

COVID - 19 Information

Covid 19 isn't over... we are all responsible to follow the latest government guidelines and protect vulnerable people in our community. 

On 26th October 2022 The Royal College of Podiatry provided us with an update on the latest guidance on mask use for members in Scotland.
In its latest guidance, published on 7 October 2022, the Scottish Government strongly recommends that facemasks continue to be worn in clinical settings.
Members working in clinical settings should therefore continue to wear an IIR facemask where face-to-face consultations and treatments are taking place; patients should be asked to wear a facemask unless exempt.

Advice about mask use during healthcare visits to social care settings is also included in the Scottish Government update.

Shielding/Vulnerable Patients 

We can offer over the telephone consultations as well as Telehealth video chat appointments, which will enable us to provide advice and triage to the need of the individual.
Please note that we must follow the government guidelines and if we cannot offer you an appointment, please understand that we must adhere to these procedures. If you require urgent Podiatry treatment but are showing any COVID-19 symptoms you must stay at home and call 111. Please do not attend the clinic if you do not have an appointment, as there is no reception available within Davidsons Chemist. For those patients attending with a booked appointment, please follow the procedures below:

Appointment Procedures

Signs and Symptoms
If you are experiencing any of the COVID symptoms on the day of your appointment, please contact us to cancel your appointment. Please stay at home, follow the guidelines and protect others.
Appointment Times
Please show up just before your appointment time to reduce the waiting time in the chemist. We have allocated time between each appointment to thoroughly clean the clinic between patients.
Social Distancing
When entering Davidsons Chemist please be mindful of others whom are vulnerable in our community by keeping a safe distance.
Individual Attendance
We are asking all patients to attend clinic on their own, unless they need mobility assistance, have a Welfare Guardian or they are a minor. Please wear a face mask when entering the chemist and the treatment room.
Home Visits
If others are present at the time of your appointment, please ensure those persons are not near you during the treatment and they are in another room if possible. 
Hand Sanitising
Please use the hand sanitiser station located at the main entrance of the chemist and avoid unnecessary hand contact on surfaces.
Checking In
When you arrive at Davidsons Chemist, please report to the sales desk and a member of staff will guide you to the consultation room.
Our PPE
The Podiatrist will be wearing full Personal Protective Equipment in line with the government guidelines: mask, face visor, apron, gloves and a protective screen is provided, as a barrier between patient/podiatrist.
