Blood-borne viruses (BBVs) such as HBV, HCV, and HIV present significant risks in dental settings. This course provides a comprehensive understanding of these risks and the compliance requirements of HTM 01-05 to ensure a safe environment for both staff and patients.
Mastering BBV risks and adhering to HTM 01-05 standards is essential for improving patient and staff safety through effective infection control protocols.
BBV transmission in dentistry can occur through:
Sharp injuries and contact with contaminated surfaces.
Aerosolized particles during procedures.
Failure to use appropriate Personal Protective Equipment (PPE) or adhere to sterilisation practices.
Dental professionals are responsible for maintaining compliance with HTM 01-05, regular training, and establishing a culture of safety through effective infection control measures.
