Brodex are a leading water treatment company in the Healthcare sector. Not only have we worked with a number of medical centres and GP surgeries, but also various dental practices. Our goal is to ensure that water systems in the healthcare sector meet the required standards for patient safety.
The Care Quality Commission established in April 2011 outlines the standards of water quality and safety. Dentists and other healthcare institutions have a legal obligation to adhere to these regulations, especially for the purpose of controlling the potential risks of Legionella. The legal requirements for clean water placed on healthcare providers can also be founded in the Health and Safety Executive’s ACOP and the Health and Safety at Work Act. Brodex’s water treatment services help the healthcare sector to comply with these requirements so that they can fulfil their duty of care. Failing to do so will result in legal action.
Denplan is the UK’s premier dental payment plan specialist, with over 6,500 member dentists covering around 1.7 million patients. Created in 1986, Denplan allows patients to pay a fixed monthly fee for regular check-ups and treatment. Brodex was tasked with carrying out Legionella risk assessments and training in over 500 Denplan surgeries in the UK. Water sampling and calorifier testing were also scheduled leading to the required corrective remedial actions. Denplan is a prime example of how Brodex assists healthcare institutions.
