Helping you Bounceback It’s vital that practice owners and managers plan carefully for the return to normality post Covid-19.

Dear customer,

Making the most efficient use of local resources and working beyond traditional roles and boundaries may be needed to continue to deliver high quality care in these unprecedented circumstances. The COVID-19 response must deliver high quality care both for COVID-19 patients and for individuals requiring urgent care or essential routine care for pre-existing conditions that are non COVID-19.

Primary and community care services will need to work in new ways to:

• Shield those at most risk of severe illness from COVID-19 and manage their ongoing health and care needs, in partnership with community services, social care and voluntary organisations.

• Support the rest of the population by delivering essential primary and community care services, including to patients with possible COVID-19.

• Minimise the health risks to staff, patients and wider communities.

It’s vital that practice owners and managers plan carefully for the return to normality post Covid-19.

Henry Schein Medical has been pooling ideas, products, services and resources to support you as you continue with your patient care.

Our bounceback strategy will give you lots of guidance for how you can do this - including a disinfection protocol and helping to run remote triage (telemedicine).

Of course, our medical team are on hand to help you with any queries or concerns you may have. We are here to help with any medical product requirements but also for you to tell us your uncertainties, your current situation and your recovery plans for your premises.

Call us on 0800 0304169, via email info@henryscheinmedical.co.uk or book a catch-up using a video meet.

Telemedicine Practice Virtual Collaboration Owner’s Checklist Tools

Telemedicine Virtual Collaboration Tools The unprecedented global COVID-19 crisis has made a significant impact to communities and how we administer care.

With Teams you can:

•• Invite NHSmail and non-NHSmail users to meetings •• Start calls and send messages on the go

•• Organise meetings with up to 250 attendees

•• Collaborate with Multi-disciplinary teams and organise your work into different channels for more structured collaboration •• Organise and host Live Events, which can be useful for training sessions and virtual conferences with a large audience (up to 10,000 attendees) The NHS recommends that remote consultations should be used when possible and to consider the use of video consultations when appropriate. This includes the adoption of new technologies to allow continued ongoing communication with patients. Telemedicine is becoming mainstream with many patients seeing their GPs online and non-digital users should be supported to go through the same system by practice staff.

NHS Digital have completed assurance in relation to a cohort of suppliers on the Digital Care Services Framework (GP IT Futures) that are able to offer video consultation services. Additional suppliers that offer services on the Dynamic Procurement Service (DPS) hub are also available. These video consultation services are centrally funded. Guidance on how to establish a remote ‘total triage’ model in general practice using online consultations can be found here.

NHS organisations now have free access to Microsoft Teams communication and collaboration system. Advice and guidance for access and usage including a quick start guide are available on the NHS Mail website.

Disinfection protocol

Disinfection protocol Standard infection control precautions are to be maintained by all staff, in all care settings, at all times, for all patients whether COVID-19 is known to be present or not, to ensure the safety of those being cared for, staff and visitors in the care environment.

HAND WASHING

Refer to best practice for hand hygiene as a simple but essential practice in reducing the transmission of infectious agents and staff should ensure strict adherence.

PPE

PPE and masks: FFP3 mask, eye screen, apron and gloves are essential for all patient contact for non-COVIDpositive patients. This recommendation will remain in place until the current trajectory of COVID has flattened.

For other direct patient care, a fluid-resistant (type IIR) surgical mask remains appropriate.

•• Make sure you are familiar with all the latest infection control advice.

•• Use wipe clean keyboards where possible.

Clinell Silicone keyboards are wipeable and proven to withstand regular disinfection procedure, even chlorine.

•• Think about the flow of movement within your clinic.

There may be some recommendations for patients to enter one way and healthcare workers to enter another - at least for patients requiring isolation treatments (eg those with suspected COVID-19, discharged from hospital in the last 14 days or requiring an AGP).

•• Initial Medical - part of the Rentokil Initial Group offers expertise in waste management. Their team provides all the clinical waste services you may need.

Preparing for an assessment

Preparing for an assessment

PREPARING FOR AN ASSESSMENT COVID-19: investigation and initial clinical management of possible cases Clinicians should:

•• implement infection prevention and control measures whilst awaiting test results, including isolation and cohorting of patients.

gown, gloves and eye protection must be worn; refer to infection prevention and control (IPC) guidance and PPE guidance.

•• ask the patient to wear a fluid-resistant (Type IIR) surgical face mask (FRSM) if they are in a clinical or communal area or are being transported if the patient can tolerate it. The aim of this is to minimise the dispersal of respiratory secretions, reduce both direct transmission risk and environmental contamination.

A FRSM should not be worn by patients if there is potential for their clinical care to be compromised (for example, when receiving oxygen therapy via a mask). An FRSM can be worn until damp or uncomfortable.

•• wear personal protective equipment (PPE) - as a minimum, this should be a fluid resistant surgical mask, single use disposable apron and gloves and eye protection if blood and or body fluid contamination to the eyes or face is anticipated.

If a patient meeting the case definition undergoes equipment •procedure, Pharmaceuticals refurbishment • Equipment testing and calibration • GP surgeries • Buying groups • Primary care networks • Medical consumables • Medical • Surgery an aerosol generating then a FFP3 For case definitions and criteria refer to guidance from respirator, long-sleeved disposable fluid-repellent Public Health England.

Medical device surface cleaning & disinfection and the Coronavirus

By Laura Yates BSc CChem MRSC, Technical Manager at dentisan.

Whilst the world is focussed on hand hygiene, let’s not forget the importance of surface cleaning and disinfection as part of the fight against COVID-19 in the medical practice.

What started as reports of a previously unknown virus causing serious illness in the Chinese province of Hubei has now become headline news around the world, as the battle continues to stop the global spread of COVID-19. COVID-19 is a respiratory disease caused by a new strain of coronavirus. Coronaviruses are enveloped viruses known to infect both humans and animals. In humans these pathogens cause respiratory illnesses ranging from the common cold to far more serious infections including severe pneumonia and bronchitis.

With regards to surfaces within a practice, both cleaning and disinfection are required processes, but importantly cleaning must take place before disinfection to ensure that bacteria, proteins and other contaminants are removed from surfaces before disinfection takes place. This is why a single stage process which combines cleaning and disinfection is often the preferred choice for dental nurses.

It is known that coronavirus can remain active on surfaces for up to 10 days, therefore surface cleaning and disinfection are of upmost importance in tackling the transmission of the virus.

Biocleanse Ultra has proven efficacy against enveloped viruses such as Vaccinia virus, HIV, HBV and HCV H1N1 and H5N1. It is therefore expected that Biocleanse Ultra will have efficacy against coronavirus (also an enveloped virus). As this is a novel virus, specific testing on the COVID-19 strain is not yet available.

The suitability of alcohol for disinfection of hard surfaces remains questionable. Despite being an effective disinfectant in clean conditions, alcohol is not effective as a cleaner, especially with proteinaceous soils. It evaporates very rapidly in use, limiting the effective contact time.

In addition to its volatility, alcohol is highly flammable, and is incompatible with common surgery surfaces such as PMMA and upholstery. More worrying is that alcohol acts to fix proteins to surfaces, a problem highlighted in HTM 01-05. Section 6.57 that states, “…the presence of protein will compromise the efficacy of alcohol-based wipes. Note: Alcohol has been shown to bind blood and protein to stainless steel. The use of alcohol with medical instruments should therefore be avoided.”

Biocleanse Ultra Wipes are a single-stage cleaner and disinfectant. They can be used for both cleaning (where a detergent wipe may be called for) and disinfecting, or both where appropriate. The wipes are wetted with a non-alcohol formulation so there is no concern of fixing protein to a surface, which is a significant issue with traditional alcohol wipes.

The COVID-19 outbreak, along with a significant rise in cases of other viral illnesses, including mumps and measles, puts a spotlight on how easily infections can spread, and ultimately how they can be prevented using stringent infection control procedures. For the medical team and patients alike, such measures drastically reduce the likelihood of contracting any infection in the medical practice.

By complying with government guidelines on hand hygiene, surface cleaning/ disinfection and safe practices, as well as understanding how to break the chain of infection and how pathogens are transmitted, makes it far easier to take the correct preventive and control measures.

What happens next?

In the words of Stan Bergman, Chairman of the Board and Chief Executive Officer: â&#x20AC;&#x153;At Henry Schein, we have no doubt that the demand for dental and office-based medical services will rebound once the coronavirus passes.

Henry Schein intends to be there for you on that day and all the days leading up to the full resumption of care, now and in the future. We ask you to rely on us, and we are committed to living up to that promise during this pandemic.

Thank you again for relying on Henry Schein.â&#x20AC;?
