How does Richmond Practice maintain infection control?
Infection control is of key importance for the health and safety of our patients. It is a top priority for the Richmond Practice team. All staff are trained in the prevention and control of infection and we work continuously to ensure we provide a safe and hygienic medical environment. Studies have shown that implementing simple hand hygiene practices are very effective in minimising infection. All clinical staff clean their hands, either with alcohol gel or by washing with soap and water, prior to examination or performing any more invasive procedures.
