Hi,

I've been approached by a Physio who is expanding her clinic and would like a Podiatrist on board. She has added a room onto her clinic which is proving to be a very successful business.
The problem I have, (I am a new grad), it is a carpeted room and there are no facilities in the room and she says none can be added. Apparently the room can be overlayed with washable flooring which is fine but there is no sink even for handwashing nevermind sterilisation although I was plannig to use disposable instruments initially. I mentioned to her about the SOCAP standards and the necessity for a sink, but she told me the standards are just guidelines and that you work with what you have i.e. handgel, until you go down the corridor to the sink. This has left me feeling very uncomfortable as I have very high standards when it comes to infection control and personal hygeine and don't really want to drop before I even get started.
I suppose my question is - is she right? are they just guidelines and am I wrong in my thinking?
Any guidance would gratefully received.
Thanks
Sam
