Our Services and Support During the Pandemic

IMPORTANT NOTICE: 

Last updated 12/04/2021

The Centre is open for pre-booked physiotherapy appointments, foot health, acupuncture and oxygen only.  We have set out our roadmap for reopening more services as restrictions are lifted.

From 29 March we will be able to

• Have up to a MAXIMUM of 6 members meeting outside on the patio
• Run an additional afternoon oxygen session on Tuesday afternoons

You should still keep 2 metres away from people outside of your household (except when being treated by a clinician).

From 03 May we will be able to:

• Re-open the newly refurbished pool for one to one hydrotherapy
• Please note Pool availability will depend on hydrotherapist resources

From 17 May we should be able to start the following:

• Up to two households or 6 people per table can meet in the atrium
• Café will re-open Tuesday to Thursday from 10am to 2pm. Table service only and we are investigating contactless payments.
• Social activity programme for up to 6 people – a short survey will be sent out on 02 April to gauge numbers & what activities to provide
• Pool will re-open for group hydrotherapy – availability will depend on hydrotherapist resources
• Resume some face to face exercise classes for up to five members
• Zoom classes will continue
• Add more oxygen afternoon sessions dependent upon volunteer resources (this may be sooner than 17th May)

From 21 June

• If everything goes to plan, we hope to return to a fuller programme of therapies and treatments.
• We will await further information from the Government before any final decisions are made.

Our remote support services will continue through telephone and video calls with our physio team, live exercise classes, online workshops, virtual social activities and telephone counselling.  We are still accepting new members, although assessments will take place via telephone/video call.

For online EXERCISE CLASSES and Yoga please email exercise@chilternsmscentre.org to be sent the Zoom link.  Bookings must be received by the day before the class.

For OXYGEN appointments please email oxygen@chilternsmscentre.org.  We are currently only allowing 2 people in the chamber at one time, following strict guidelines that will be explained to you when you book your appointment.

PHYSIO appointments require an initial telephone consultation.  Please call us or email info@chilternsmscentre.org to arrange a call with your physiotherapist.

New member referrals are welcome.  Please call us to arrange a chat with one of our clinical team.
