"Infection control is extremely important in this setting to reduce the risk and prevent the spread of infection between patients and staff. One way we do this in the office is by ensuring that chairs and other surfaces patients have touched are thoroughly wiped down with a disinfectant before the next patient enters the room. Another example of a best practice is proper hand washing throughout the day. The World Health Organisation recommends handwashing before touching a patient, before performing a clean/aseptic procedure, after any bodily fluid exposure risk, and after touching the patient or the patient's surroundings. Proper handwashing should be done for at least 20 seconds with warm water and soap, followed by drying with a clean and disposable paper towel."
