Infection Control Statement

We aim to keep our surgery clean and tidy and offer a safe environment to our patients and staff. We are proud of our modern, purpose built practice and endeavour to keep it clean and well maintained at all times.

If you have any concerns about cleanliness or infection control, please report these to our reception staff. You can Contact the Practice online by completing our online form.

Our GPs and nursing staff follow our Infection Control Policy to ensure the care we deliver and the equipment we use is safe.

We take additional measures to ensure we maintain the highest standards, these are:

  • Encouraging staff and patients to raise any issues or report any incidents relating to cleanliness and infection control. We can discuss these and identify improvements we can make to avoid any future problems
  • Carrying out an annual infection control audit to make sure our infection control procedures are working
  • Providing annual staff updates and training on cleanliness and infection control
  • Reviewing our policies and procedures to make sure they are adequate and meet national guidance
  • Maintaining the premises and equipment to a high standard within the available financial resources and ensuring that all reasonable steps are taken to reduce or remove all infection risk
  • Using washable or disposable materials for items such as couch rolls, modesty curtains, floor coverings, towels etc., and ensuring that these are laundered, cleaned or changed frequently to minimise the risk of infection
  • Making alcohol hand rub gel available throughout the building
