Every registered dental practitioner is legally required to comply with the Dental Board of Australia’s (the Board) policies and guidelines on infection control, ensuring in their words that “the risk of the spread of infectious diseases is prevented or minimised.”
This strictly enforced regime of infection control is in place not just for the protection of patients but for practice staff as well who come into contact with potentially harmful objects as a matter of course during a standard work day.
Remaining compliant with these obligations is now easier with the ADA’s new Infection Control Manual template which has done all the hard work for you.
Clearly and concisely addressing all the of the Board’s requirements, it outlines in a practical step-by-step fashion how you can implement rigorous infection control practices, ensuring you are meeting the Board’s requirement for every practice to have a manual onsite.
In fact, it is so straightforward that even new and temporary staff will be able to get quickly up to speed, understanding not just what they need to do, but importantly, how to do it.
Once you are up and running, the ADA will keep it updated for you, with dedicated and knowledgeable branch staff here to support and assist you to customise the manuals as needed.
There is no longer any need to employ expensive consultants with the manual, created by dentists for dentists, helping to ensure you are compliant with your infection control obligations and are fully-equipped to keep on delivering the best possible care to your patients.
