5. COVID19 - update 2 - 19/03/20
Dear Patients,
In light of the recent events of COVID-19 outbreak, Physit Ltd is working hard to ensure all our patients can continue the work on their rehabilitation and progress. In the past few days we have seen unprecedented events unfold and we recognise that many of our home visits might not be able to go ahead as planned soon. We also recognise the importance of the care we provide through our rehabilitation programmes, therefore Physit is currently implementing the technologies to allow our therapists and patients to communicate through a video link. This is a fully risk-free environment for both our patients and our therapists.
Please contact our Admin team on 07714 244 438 or email us on info@physit.co.uk if you wish to discuss this with us further.
