New Clinical Room

Hi,
wondered if I could pick your brains again?
I hve finally found a great room for a clinic but I need to modify it/develop it from scratch, from floor - to walls - to chairs - and sinks.................

so any advice on the best choice for everything

also, has anyone got any experience of letting a clinical room out to other pracitioners, if so, has it worked, and any tips etc.........

many thanks again for your advice

:wacko:

 

If you contact the Society of Chiropodists and Podiatrists ( professional body) you can obtain minimum clinical standards for podiatry rooms eg. size, flooring,lighting, decontamination etc.. but thye also publish a private practitioners guide and that may help with requirements for other areas eg. waiting rooms, signage etc.. from a H+S perspective.

If u r a member you can access via the website.

Due to the controversy re decontamination and sterilisation and the hoops and loops of meeting standards and the phasing out of autoclaves ,many private practitioners are opting for disposable instruments.

Good luck
Julie

 

One hint is to get a "chair" that will lie flat.have stable legs and a breathing hole.

I have found a "plinth" the best.

That way physios/osteopaths or even beautitians can use it as well as you of course.

By stable legs I mean where the pts legs are, as some have springs on them which drop when weight is put on them, so are not suitable for physios/osteopaths

 

g'day , i have just recently been busy with a new clinic...and one of the first things i needed was a new floor...it needed to be practical and yet professional looking....so i settled for a rubber compound floor...great price, good looking,easy keep and bonus feels great to walk on for bare feet or even beer feet or bear feet...has a nice soft bounce. The product may have another name , importer/ dealer , where you are ...here its called goflex standard (mansom fitfloor.nl).I have nothing to do with the floor business...just a happy customer.It is worth a look...the standard variety has a higher % car tyre (recycled) in it .
all the best
