Decontamination is a GDC highly-recommended CPD topic (5 hours per cycle) and one of the first things a CQC inspector will look at. This course explains the full decontamination cycle in a dental practice — from chairside to sterilised storage — and the standards set by HTM 01-05, the Health and Social Care Act 2008 Code of Practice and Scottish/Welsh equivalents.
Covers hand hygiene, PPE, zoning, manual and automated cleaning, ultrasonic baths and washer-disinfectors, autoclave types and testing, instrument tracking, water-line management and legionella, clinical waste and the audits that evidence compliance.

Non-registrants can use it as CQC training evidence and for appraisals.
