- A DENTIST who practices in Rugby faces a disciplinary inquiry later this
month accused of serious medical misconduct. Nigel William Adams, from
Sunnycroft Road in Leicester, is accused of not routinely wearing gloves,
wearing them only when bleeding was involved. His case will be heard by the
General Medical Council on November 14 in London. The allegations relate to
July 2001 at his practice in Church Street, Rugby. Mr. Adams faces additional
allegations that he employed 'inadequate methods for cleaning, sterilisation
and storage of instruments' nor a suitable protocol for the prevention of
cross infection. Also, it is claimed, he did not have adequate procedures for
ensuring dental assistants working with him were immunised against Hepatitis B
or suitably trained in cross-infection control.

- A DENTIST who operated on patients above a sex shop in Rugby using
bloodstained, rusty and bent instruments in a 'filthy surgery has been struck
off the dental register. Nigel Adam, 48, often did not wear gloves during his
examinations despite having dirty fingernails and kept his tools in grimy
racks. The telephone also had blood spattered on the handle and the tooth
polish brushes had been so over-used the bristles had been worn down almost to
the handle. Adam s single-handed practice in Church Street, Rugby,
Warwickshire, was shut down after an investigation on July 20 this year.

When I was a member of the Patient and Public Involvement Forum working with
Rugby PCT, I led on the report
in 2006 on NHS dentistry in Rugby. This showed an inadequate service,
both for regular NHS treatment and for emergencies, and also identified that
restrictions were being made that were not permitted under the 2006 contract.
