Do we have ongoing commitment to infection control now the pandemic is over?
Yes, our practice cross-infection control will always meet the highest Australian standards. Originally implemented to prevent the transmission of HIV and Hepatitis C, it also meets the requirements for COVID 19. This includes:
• wiping down surgeries thoroughly between every patient with a high grade disinfectant
• processing instruments with latest sterilization protocols
In response to the Coronavirus threat:
• we increased our cleaning of the front desk and provided patients with access to hand sanitizer.
• our staff will continue to take sick leave at the first hint of illness even if they are not experiencing coronavirus symptoms
• we are asking patients who are unwell to reschedule appointments a few weeks later so they do not bring any potential bugs into our practice.
