Hello, thanks a really useful webinar.

I wondered if you could be a little more specific on the detergents and disinfectants as I'm a bit confused which products we should be using - I understand that we should use a detergent and then a 1000:10000 chlorine disinfectant but would reallly appreciate some brand names if at all possible?


Do you have a rough guide on how often to go around the practice and wipe down all the surfaces on our checklists?


Would you still recommend wearing gloves for examining patients in light of there being possibly a shortage of gloves in the NHS?
