Decontamination is a highly-recommended CPD topic (5 hours per cycle) and one of the first things a CQC inspector will look at. This module explains the complete decontamination cycle in a dental practice and the standards set by HTM 01-05, the Health and Social Care Act 2008 Code of Practice and the Scottish and Welsh equivalents.
Covers zoning and workflow in the decontamination room, manual and automated cleaning, ultrasonic baths and washer-disinfectors, autoclave types and daily, weekly and quarterly testing, instrument tracking and storage, dental-unit water lines and legionella, and the logs and audits that evidence compliance.
Issued the moment you complete the final module. Every certificate lists the course aims and objectives, anticipated learning outcomes, the quality-assurance process and 3 CPD hrs — the elements required for verifiable CPD. Non-registrants can use it as CQC training evidence and for appraisals.
