We aim to keep our surgery clean and tidy and offer a safe environment to our patients and staff. We endeavour to keep it clean, safe and well maintained at all times.
If you have any concerns about safety, cleanliness or infection control, please report these to our Reception staff.
Our staff all follow our Health & Safety and Infection Control Policies to ensure the care we deliver and the equipment we use is safe.
We take additional measures to ensure we maintain the highest standards:
- Encourage staff and patients to raise any issues or report any incidents relating to hazards, cleanliness and infection control. We can discuss these and identify improvements we can make to avoid any future problems.
- Carry out annual health & safety and infection control audits to make sure our procedures are working.
- Provide annual staff updates and training on safety, cleanliness and infection control
- Review our policies and procedures to make sure they are adequate and meet national and local guidance.
- Maintain the premises and equipment to a high standard within the available financial resources and ensure that all reasonable steps are taken to reduce or remove risks.
- 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 gel available throughout the building.
