CORONAVIRUS / COVID-19 UPDATE

Thank you for your patience in these very uncertain times.

We are observing the situation and keeping up to date with national and international recommendations. As you know, this is an evolving situation and advice is changing day by day. See www.hse.ie

Because we are a healthcare facility and our treatments are elective, we are adopting safe but strict procedures in an effort to protect all patients and staff and we will be giving our patients regular updates. We sincerely apologise for any inconvenience caused and please rest assured that we will do everything possible to minimise disruption and stress.

Our current recommendations and policies are as listed below. Please call or email us if you have any concerns.

Please do not enter the clinic if:

– You are known to have the Covid-19 virus, whether well or ill

– You have travelled to or from the affected regions listed below

– If you have been in contact with someone who has the virus

– You have flu like symptoms such as:

  • A cough
  • Shortness of breath
  • Breathing difficulties
  • Fever (high temperature)

If you are unsure, please call us on 01 663 5000 to discuss your situation

Avoid Unnecessary Patient Visits

We are organising telephone consultations to reduce the need to attend the clinic

We cannot allow partners or children to attend for the following:

  • Scans (except pregnancy scans)
  • Blood tests
  • Semen analysis

We have taken the difficult decision to postpone some services. This is in the interests of patient safety and we sincerely regret having to do this. Anyone who has had their treatment cancelled will be given priority when services get back up and running and there will be no financial implications.

How to Prevent

  • Avoid touching eyes, nose or mouth with unwashed hands
