Overview
The National Standards of Healthcare Cleanliness 2021 requires healthcare premises to carry out cleaning tasks and a wide number of other issues, however, the Chief Dental Officer has confirmed that many of the points set out in the document are not required to be undertaken in general practice.
In addition, the Care Quality Commission has confirmed that it will not expect practices "to display star ratings or logos in dental practices" and has updated its Dental Mythbuster 38: Infection prevention and control, detailing what it will inspect on.
