Abbey Mead Dental & Implant Clinic Partners with Bison Assist for Expert Risk Assessment and Safety Compliance.
At Abbey Mead Dental & Implant Clinic patient care and safety are at the heart of everything we do. Known for our excellence in implant, cosmetic, and restorative dentistry, we are proud to be recognized as a finalist in the 2024 Dentistry Awards, an honour that reflects our dedication to first-class patient care.
With that same commitment to excellence, we partner with Bison Assist to ensure our practice meets the highest standards in health and safety compliance. Bison Assist provides us with expert health and safety services, including critical risk assessments, to ensure that we remain fully compliant with all legislation – keeping our patients and staff safe and secure.
Risk assessments have become a crucial part of operating a safe and effective dental practice, covering everything from infection control to emergency protocols. As our Practice Manager Kay Bullen explains, “Risk assessments are an important part of dental practice life now. What is most important is that they are adhered to, and that our staff are aware of them and know where to refer to them if necessary.”
Bison’s team of experts understands the unique health and safety needs of dental practices. They work with us to address specific areas of concern, including Legionella prevention, access and fire safety. These critical evaluations keep our practice compliant with current health and safety regulations.
Bison Assist’s team carries out our risk assessments with a level of professionalism and minimal disruption that we appreciate. Kay notes, “Bison comes in and carries out their work with minimal disruption. I’ve also had them visit our sister practice, where I previously worked. They’re always very professional and thorough.”
Regular visits from Bison also provide our team with reminders of when assessments are due, ensuring we stay on top of all safety protocols. Following their visits, we receive a detailed and actionable report, giving us confidence that every safety measure is in place. These consistent and prompt reminders add an extra layer of support to our operations, allowing us to maintain an exceptional standard of care without missing a step.
One area of Bison’s services that is especially valuable to our clinic is their water safety checks, which include Legionella risk assessments. By thoroughly evaluating our water systems, Bison helps ensure our staff and patients are protected from harmful waterborne diseases, such as Legionella, which can pose serious health risks. “By having Bison check our water supplies, it means we are making sure our customers and staff are protected,” says Kay.
With Bison Assist’s support, Abbey Mead is equipped to uphold the highest standards of health and safety, ensuring that everyone who enters our practice can feel safe and confident.
