INFECTION CONTROL IN DENTAL PRACTICE

" WHAT MUST I DO ? "

CONFUSION ABOUT INFECTION CONTROL STANDARDS

Most dentists complain of the confusion caused by numerous laws, regulations, recommendations, Standards and unclear advice from their colleagues and the dental press about Infection Control. Many dentists suspect they are being pressured into purchasing equipment and carrying out procedures that are unnecessary, time consuming and expensive.

This Seminar will clearly identify those procedures that all dentists must carry out, and show
the SIMPLE, SAFE, SCIENTIFIC, LEGAL, COST EFFECTIVE and FAST way to achieve them that will translate into SAVINGS OF TIME, EFFORT AND MONEY .

Staff Training and a Standard Operating Procedure Manual will soon be a legal requirement for private dental practices in most State of Australia. You will need to produce records of Staff immunisation programs and documentation of reprocessing of reusable instruments at inspections.
