We aim to keep the surgery clean and tidy, and to offer a safe environment for all our staff, patients and relatives.
If you have any concerns about cleanliness or infection control, please report these to our reception staff.
Our GP’s and nursing team also follow procedures to make sure that treatment of our patients and the clinical equipment used meets infection control guidance.
In addition the practice takes the following measures to make sure we maintain the highest possible infection control standards:
- Encourage staff and patients to raise any issues or report any incidents relating to cleanliness and infection control.
- Carry out an annual infection control risk assessment.
- Provide annual staff updates and training on cleanliness and infection control
- Review our policies and procedures to make sure they are adequate and meet national guidance.
- Use washable or disposable materials for items such as couch rolls, modesty curtains, floor coverings, towels etc, and ensure that these are laundered, cleaned or changed frequently to minimise risk of infection.
- Make Alcohol Hand Rub Gel available throughout the building
