Round Up 03/11/2022
Hi All,
Just a few things.......
Cleaning
We have acquired a new cleaner; a lady called Naomi who owns Tilly's Cleaning Services will be cleaning the practice regularly from tomorrow. Hooray...... no more mopping !!
Thank you everyone for pulling together and managing the cleaning over the last few weeks. I am hoping Naomi is more successful than the last one 😬
Decontamination Process
I have recently done the annual review of the cross-infection policies and I noticed that there were a few things on the Decontamination Process Policy that we need to amend slightly.
1) Any contaminated instruments, left at the dirty end of the decon, need to be scrubbed ready for processing the next day- they can then just be put on a tray in the morning and autoclaved.
2) All clean instruments should be kept on a lint free cloth in the clean box- not loose- the clean boxes can then be wiped and dried end of day, ready for clean cloths the next morning.
3) Any unpouched instruments left in the clean box at the end of the day, that have been in the surgery, need to be fully reprocessed before pouching.
Day Lists
We are going to have printed day lists again. These will have patient phone numbers on so if Exact crashes or the electricity goes off, we can contact patients. Also, this will facilitate the review emails we are going to start sending- see next point.
Google Reviews
We have started sending follow up emails to patients to gain some feedback; this email gives them a link to click on to leave a Google review if they wish. Chris and Mike will leave 'stars' on the day list at the end of the day as to which patients they wish to receive this email. These day lists need to be given to myself, Zoe, or Natasha at the end of the day or left in the left bottom drawer of the locked filing cabinets. No day lists must be left in the surgeries or lying around due to confidentiality.
Resus training
Don't forget resuscitation training Thursday 08/12/2022 130pm- 400pm. We are still hoping to get photos of you all on this day for the website.
So, if you need to get any preparations underway ......😉
And finally ........ thank you all for being such a fab team 😀
COME ON ENGLAND ......... or WALES !!⚽️🥇(Sweepstake !!!)
