The necessary building work took several months in 1999 to complete and involved basically removing the entire interior of the ground floor. Apart from the odd hiccup things went smoothly and we were up and running and able to welcome our first patients through the door at the end of June 1999. The practice is constantly striving to keep its decontamination facilities not just up to date but ahead of the guidelines. We installed our first automated washer-disinfector in 2006, which was six years ahead of it becoming a legal requirement.
