Round Up 11/08/2022
Hi All.
Apologies, I've not done a round up for a while due to hols.🏖️
Just a few points -
Decon/ surgery
- We have now stopped using the spray bottles in the surgeries. Please clean down using the wipes as previously done. The filters must be soaked in a bleach solution at the end of day.
- We are going back to changing the wash bath in the decon. every lunchtime as we used to before 'Covid'. The daily log has been changed so this can be recorded.
Training/CPD
As a health and social care provider registered with the CQC, we must all receive training on Learning Disabilities and Autism. This is a new legal requirement on the Health and Care Act 2022 and was also announced by the BDA last month. There is a course on on Aglio- go to Staff Development> Learning Disability & Autism Awareness. It is a 1 hour verified CPD course; I completed it yesterday and it was very straightforward. If you can all get this completed ASAP, and let me know when you have completed this course, I will add to your PDP and training record.
Moving forward as I have more time, I will set CPD topics each month or in line with the staff meetings so we can ensure we stay on top of our CPD and our training is consistent across the team.
Reception
The outstanding treatment list is getting longer and longer and there are still many courses of treatments not TC'ed. Please TC those treatments! Nurses working with the hyg, at the end of each session could you please spend a few minutes checking back through the session to see they are all done.
We have pretty much worked our way through the new patient waiting list so hopefully from the end of next week we will be able to book new patients in as they ring. We will review this should we get too busy.
Recruitment
Olivia is due to start on Monday 05/09/2022. Initially, she will be assigned to a nurse each day to shadow then hopefully after some training she will soon be able to work independently. Her course will start mid October.
I will print some info regarding cross infection, charting etc. so we can all explain things to her in a similar way.
It looks like a beautiful weekend .................... Enjoy the sunshine !!🌞

Thanks Mandy
