- Our locum staff have completed Covid-19 Awareness CPD
- They have been supplied with extra scrubs so you can rest assured your nurse is attending with a freshly laundered uniform each day.
- They carry their own P2 disposable masks for sessional use.
- As supplies of FFP2 and FFP3 masks for AGP’s are arriving, we are supplying our teams with fit-tested masks of their own, so they can assist with AGP treatments with confidence.
- Our Area Managers are fit-test trained and can attend your practice to fit test our surgery staff with your masks. At that time, they can also fit-test any of your staff who still need to be fit-tested.
- We have a robust sickness policy in place and all staff sickness is formally monitored and followed up.-As Cavity dental staff only locum for Cavity, we effectively have a “track and trace” system in place and are able to inform clients immediately of any risk of contagious illness (not just Covid-19) to any of their own staff or patients by our staff. This is something we have always done, we never use freelance or self-employed staff where we cannot monitor or guarantee standards- which is why you can rest assured that our staff are competent, fit, well and up to date.
- We have carried out a Covid-19 risk assessment and shared the results with the people who work in our office.
- We have cleaning, hand washing and hygiene procedures in line with guidance.-We have taken all reasonable steps to help people work from home.-We have taken all reasonable steps to maintain a 2m distance in the workplace.
- Where people cannot be 2m apart, we have done everything practical to manage transmission risk.
Finally, I would like to assure you that at this time, even with our own increased PPE costs, I will not be increasing our fees. I appreciate you are experiencing unprecedented increase in costs yourself and I want to do my utmost to support you, our valued business partner get back to a level of normal service for your patients as painlessly as possible.
