Schoen Clinic London – taking safety seriously


At Schoen Clinic London, safety is the number-one priority. The hospital takes all the necessary steps to ensure patients feel as safe as possible while they’re there. The Schoen Clinic London team works hard to create an environment that’s as clinically safe as possible and minimises potential risks to patients and staff


P


atients are understandably concerned about the impact of COVID-19 on their surgery and


the associated risks. We at Schoen Clinic understand that and have created the safest possible environ- ment for patients to have the surgery they need, at a time to suit them. Tat means extensive changes to the layout of the hospital, even more rigorous hygiene measures than usual and a robust testing regime for both staff and patients. Schoen Clinic London screens


everyone who comes to the hospital; patients, visitors and colleagues are routinely monitored for symptoms of Covid-19. Tis includes temperature taking on arrival, social distancing measures, completing the clinic’s Covid safety questionnaire and asking


patients to swap their own face mask for a medical-grade mask. Schoen Clinic London is limiting


the number of people allowed in its waiting areas and has rearranged its busier areas so people can comfort- ably socially distance. Te clinic has also put enhanced


cleaning protocols in place in all consultation rooms, bedrooms, waiting rooms, bathrooms and frequently-touched areas. Almost all staff at Schoen Clinic London have now received the Covid-19 vaccine, everyone continues to wear PPE at all times and staff are tested for asymp- tomatic infection frequently . All these safety measures are in


place to keep the hospital as safe as possible and open for business to help patients in need. Te past year


has been difficult and the Covid-19 pandemic has impacted the health and wellbeing of many people up and down the country. Increasingly, the


clinic is welcoming patients


who’ve been putting off seeking help for longstanding problems for varying reasons. It’s best to seek treatment as soon


as possible and, with the clinic’s Safe Patient Pathways in place, the award-winning


spinal and ortho-


paedic hospital is treating patients. “People are rightly concerned


about Covid-19 safety and are conse- quently putting off surgery. Tis risks their pain and functional impair- ment worsening, and really empha- sises the importance of providing a safe environment so that people can proceed with confidence”, says Mr Ian Bacarese-Hamilton, a Consultant Trauma and Orthopaedic Surgeon at Schoen Clinic London. Te hospital is dedicated to treating


the patients who need a safe environ- ment, and remains open for video, telephone and in-person consulta- tions with its team of consultants. If, following a consultation, tests, scans or surgical procedures are required, these are possible because of the hospital’s robust safety measures. “We’re very lucky to have an cohesive


extremely team, formed of world-class experts, including


physiotherapists, operating theatre staff, nursing colleagues and our after- care team who aid patient recovery,” continues Mr Bacarese-Hamilton. Schoen Clinic London works in a


unique way. Its multidisciplinary team approach to every patient ensures a highly personalised treatment plan, improving both the patient experi- ence and their clinical outcome. Tere can be up to 20 specialists at each MDT meeting, where patient progress is reviewed to ensure the highest level of care is given at every stage. Some patients don’t require surgery and instead can benefit from rehabilita- tion and physiotherapy. “Te teams’ dedication is clearly


illustrated through the excellent clinical results we get through both surgery and non-surgical inter- vention (such as physiotherapy),” notes Mr Bacarese-Hamilton.


Tis excellence in very special-


ised care allows surgeons to focus on best practice, meaning there are very few patients returning to theatre for revision surgery. Expert care from the entire team means patients recover from surgery very quickly, most walking same-day and usually only staying in hospital for one or two nights. Trust the award-winning hospital


to get you back on your feet and back to doing what you love, sooner.
