Infection prevention and control
The Department of Health working with the National Patient Safety Agency develops guidance to ensure optimal standards of infection prevention and control. The public are increasing aware of and concerned about infection control and heath care acquired infections. Health and fitness solutions have adopted the guidance from the above mentioned bodies which will ensure that standards are the same as and often exceed those of NHS clinics.
Measures we adopt include:
- Single use disposable instruments are used for ALL treatments undertaken.
- Staff follow hand washing and alcohol gel decontamination guidance
- Annual infection prevention and control training for clinical staff
- Clinical waste storage and disposal in line with legislative requirements by an approved contractor
- Independent audit and inspection of infection prevention and control measures by an independent external body on an annual basis.
Patients can be confident in the safety measures that Health and Fitness Solutions’ have in place to ensure optimal clinical practice and patient safety.
