Terms and conditions
Initial contact
At initial contact a case history form will be completed together and preliminary informal assessment carried out. Please peruse the terms and conditions as per below prior to our first meeting as treatment cannot commence until we have jointly agreed these.
Should either you/I feel further input would not be constructive, neither party are committed to treatment or are under any obligation to continue.
Payment
All payment to be paid in full within 7 days from receipt of invoice.
Payment is accepted by cash, cheque (payable to Felicity Parsons) or by direct BACS transfer
(bank details on request).
Barring unforeseen illness, should you not be present for an arranged appointment or you do not wish to comply with treatment at the time of the allocated appointment, you will remain liable for the full cost of the allocated session.
An additional £1/mile is payable should therapy location be further than 15 miles radius from base, TN33 9AE.
Therapy input is ideally within term-time only – however, in exceptional circumstances, on-going therapy can be considered.
Liaison with other health professionals
Please note that to uphold a ‘working in harmony’ approach, it is preferable for me to contact your G.P. and/or other health professionals, including Speech and Language Therapists currently or previously involved in your care, asking for all relevant verbal and written notes/reports. If you do not wish to consent to this, this will be taken into consideration – your wishes will be respected and documented.
Goals of treatment
Goals will be jointly set at the start of treatment, with a review date planned. Adaptation or termination of input is fully within yours or Felicity Parsons’ rights at the time of an agreed review.
Medical status
Should your medical status change in any way during the agreed course of treatment, you or your
next of kin/carer are obliged to inform Felicity Parsons as soon as is reasonably possible.
