Safety at The Campbell Clinic in a post Coronavirus world

Everyone’s life has changed dramatically since the Coronavirus pandemic emerged at the start of 2020 and Dentistry has been at least as much affected as any other industry.

The Campbell Clinic opened it’s doors to the public in early February 2020, only to be closed by government restrictions on the 23^rd March.

The design process for the Clinic though was for the 21^st Century environment and for the best possible cross infection and patient comfort experience available in Dentistry.

This has served us well and was almost a ‘lucky’ design feature as if we could see the Coronavirus issue arising.

Some of the features that make The Campbell Clinic almost unique in terms of Dental provision are the following:

• We have 18 patient car parking spaces (2 disabled and 1 electrical car charging point) which sit directly in front of the front door and patient entrance to the practice. This is significant in post COVID-19 as we may ask patients to wait in their cars until immediately prior to their appointments to minimise the time in the waiting room while social distancing measures are adhered to.
• Our front door is entirely automatic.
• Our toilets are designed with no touch (apart from door handles which are stainless steel for ultimate cleaning).
• Our waiting room allows for patients (and their escorts) to sit in fully social distance space in an open atrium environment which is not enclosed.
• Our six treatment rooms provide state-of-the-art cross infection ability with minimum flat spaces for easy cleaning and are airy and bright to provide excellent air flow.
• One of the main significant features of the clinic is the air-recycling systems in all clinical areas which allows the air within a room to be recycled up to 10 times per hour (2.5 times for every 15 minutes) which removes a significant amount of aerosol and air which is thought to provide enhanced patient safety.
• Our cross-infection facilities at the clinic are state-of-the-art and are kept entirely ‘back of the shop’ for complete patient safety.

The size of the premises, the waiting room and the treatment rooms allows us to be able to see significant numbers of patients in complete safety and comfort.

Previous to this The Campbell Clinic operated out of a converted domestic property which was simple not suitable to exist in a post Coronavirus environment and we’re proud now to offer the services out to the local population in Nottingham and beyond for dentistry in the safest possible place.
