- Clinic Reopening
As the uncharted tide of COVID-19 seems to be ebbing in Canada and provincial governments start to make cautiously optimistic statements about reopening the economy, the physiotherapy industry finds itself positioned within a new reality that is here to stay.
Clinic owners and managers are faced with new decisions and challenges as health authorities gradually allow physiotherapists to return to serving their patients within the clinic environment beyond urgent care. Join Pure Care as they discuss practical ways to navigate the new status quo when it comes to your clinic environment. Whether you are becoming well established in virtual consultation or you have yet to take the first step - this webinar aims to provide real-life sense and up-to-date ideas on your journey forward.
Webinar Follow-Up Information
Following the webinar, the panelists kindly took the time to advise on a few frequently asked questions that came up during the webinar.
1. Is there any advice around temperature check procedure and what thermometers to use?
Some guidance on this area has been provided on this by Gowling WLG here.
2. Does Pure Care provide cloth masks? What other products are recommended for infection control?

The webpage lists out all of Pure Care’s recommended products for clinic reopening. Pure Care is working on sourcing the translucent shields mentioned in the webinar. Please note that the Pure Care page is updated regularly throughout the day, but due to the challenges faced at this time stock may not be available as quickly as normal.
