Prime Practice launches infection prevention Compliance Division

Prime Practice, the leading independent practice management company in the southern hemisphere, is excited to announce the launch of its new Compliance Division, headed by Megan Sharpe (pictured). Infection prevention requires co-operation and adherence to strict rules by the whole dental team, but only the clinician is accountable.

Through its new Compliance Division, Prime Practice clients and the general dental community in Australia and New Zealand will have access to half day infection prevention workshops, in-practice audits (including observation time during normal clinical work hours, assessment of all areas of the practice, sterilisation monitoring, etc), customised policy and procedures manuals and more.

Well-known throughout Australia and New Zealand, Ms Sharpe has a clinical background and a passion for dentistry. She is an infection prevention, control and sterilisation consultant and is now available to train up your whole team, so they are all clear about their responsibility for the management of infection prevention in your practice.

"I am excited to be bringing compliance into the Prime Practice world," Ms Sharpe said. "There are great synergies between compliance and practice management as both require a significant team effort from the whole practice. Prime Practice is the perfect partner to help roll out this service and training to the whole dental community in Australia and New Zealand."

Dr Phillip Palmer, founder and Chairman of Prime Practice added "Prime remains focused on bringing 'best of breed' solutions to both Australia and New Zealand. Practices, be they single, groups practices or corporates all require greater levels of compliance and risk management solutions. Introducing our Compliance Division to offer training and support, with a leader in the field like Megan, will deepen our support and welfare for the whole dental community."
