At Hospital da Luz Arrábida , during consultations and diagnostic or treatment tests, we strictly comply with all safety and protection rules , both for patients and our professionals. At the consultation we ask you to show up about 10 minutes before the scheduled time to have additional procedures for admission and admission to the hospital. Compliance with schedules is very important. We spaced the appointments to reduce the number of people in the waiting rooms and ensure the time needed for proper cleaning of the offices. When you arrive at the waiting room, choose a signposted place and if possible away from other people . Avoid circulating unnecessarily and always keep the mask on. At the entrance to the consultation you will be asked to clean your hands again. Between consultations the surfaces of frequent contact (the desk top, the benches, the computer keyboard and mouse and the medical devices) are always sanitized . The doctor will always use a mask . You can also use a visor and other personal protective equipment through risk assessment, necessary to ensure your safety and that of the health professional. In some exams, as in endoscopies, we have optimized aspects related to ventilation and air treatment. In sectors such as Dentistry, Otorhinolaryngology and Gastroenterology the spacing between consultations and exams has increased to ensure an adequate renewal of the air , so that there is no cross contamination by air between customers. To avoid the need to travel to the hospital, either at your option or by medical indication, Hospital da Luz Arrábida provides you with the possibility of conducting your consultation at a distance , with the quality and security of a face-to-face consultation through videoconsultation. Videoconsultation is governed by strict eligibility criteria and mandatory validation by your attending physician. The doctor performs the consultation in privacy in a hospital office and with access to the clinical file. We have increased the number of consultations and extended this option to several specialties. At Hospital da Luz Arrábida, we maintain the quality and excellence of care guaranteeing the safety of patients and all health professionals.
