Abstract
This chapter identifies the size, function, design, necessary equipment and maintenance of the treatment room and of the equipment, and stock control. For purpose-built surgeries or where a surgery is undergoing major conversion from existing premises, the size of the treatment room is clearly identified in the Statement of Fees and Allowances (The Red Book) Paragraph 56, Schedule 1 ‘Notes on Standards of Practice Accommodation’. A room should measure at least 17.50m2 (190sq ft) and allow space for a freestanding couch and space for one nurse to work in.
