Several Merseyside dental practices took part in disability access audits of practice premises and practice staff took part in disability awareness training. Grants were awarded to part-fund improvements to practice facilities in line with the recommendations in the audit reports. The dental teams reported that the awareness training was very valuable and many common issues arose from the audits. Access for disabled people needs to be considered in all practice developments to ensure that dental practices comply with Part III of the Disability Discrimination Act by 2004.
默西塞德郡的几家牙科诊所参与了诊所场所的无障碍设施审核,诊所工作人员也参加了残疾意识培训。根据审核报告中的建议,已发放补助金用于部分资助改善诊所设施。牙科团队报告称,意识培训非常有价值,审核中出现了许多常见问题。在所有诊所发展过程中都需要考虑残疾人的通行便利性,以确保牙科诊所在2004年前符合《残疾歧视法》第三部分的规定。
