Tackling regulations

Refurbishing or building a brand new dental practice is always going to be a somewhat stressful process. Negotiating with contractors and making the right design choices are made all the more difficult with the added pressures of making sure that your project is fully compliant with both the building regulations and CQC. With a wealth of obstacles to consider and carefully navigate, the project can become a bit of a headache, however, this need not be the case. The CQC covers a huge number of areas and many of these facets are also dealt with by the building regulations. It is therefore much more practical to try and abide by the building regulations before negotiating the standards of CQC. By doing this you will find that when the time comes to look at CQC, a number of areas have already been dealt with, such as disabled access, health and safety, fire safety and some aspects of cross-infection.
