GP’s

When people are unwell, one of the first places they visit is a GP practice. As such, effective cleaning and Infection Prevention protocols are crucial in preventing the spread of viruses and bacteria to practitioners, patients and staff.

Experts in Infection Prevention technology

Whiteley are experts in the field of Infection Prevention, and medical device cleaning and sterilisation.

General Practitioners can be exposed to a range of pathogenic microorganisms when coming into contact with contaminated instruments, equipment and environmental surfaces. These infections can then be passed on to patients, colleagues, and family members.

The good news is that the transmission of infection can be prevented. To achieve this, GP practices needs to commit to robust Infection Prevention procedures. This includes effective surface cleaning and disinfection, particularly of high-touch areas within the practice and treatment rooms. It also requires excellent hand hygiene,achievable by ensuring that hand sanitisers are easily accessible for patients in waiting rooms and staff in practice rooms.
