Infection Control Policy

Our practice processes are in line with those recommended by the National Standards of Healthcare Cleanliness 2021 which replace the 2007 specifications for NHS cleanliness. This guidance mirrors expectations for GP providers which are already covered by our in-house procedures and protocols. For example, IPC audit processes, waste management, cleaning schedules and maintenance of equipment.

Currently there are no expectations that we require star ratings or logos to be displayed in our practice although we are working with our landlords to introduce these. More information about the standards can also be viewed here:
