During an inspection in response to concerns
We found there were systems in place for the decontamination of instruments and staff were able to explain the processes and procedures they used to decontaminate instruments. These processes were in line with current Department of Health guidance. Patients told us that they found the premises always appeared clean and tidy. They were aware of staff wearing appropriate protective clothing while providing care and treatment.
On this occasion we did not look at the content of patient records. We were shown the electronic system that was in place to store all information relating to patients and their treatment. Referral letters and medical histories were scanned into the electronic record. Archived records were sent off site to a secure storage facility.
