Prisoner Centred Dental Care delivers essential dental services tailored specifically for prisons and detention centres.
For the HMP Brixton dental unit, Clinical Director Nahal Sadry, an experienced dentist known for her charity work with vulnerable populations, and Juan Mohamed, a seasoned healthcare manager, brought a vision of needs-led, evidence-based care centred around the prison population.
We were tasked with transforming an existing surgery space at HMP Brixton into a high-performing dental unit, ensuring it met stringent hygiene, durability and compliance standards suitable for secure facilities.
Our approach included:
Equipment and Design:
Installation of an Ancar S1-W dental chair, renowned for its reliability and patient comfort, along with durable cabinetry featuring sloped tops to promote easy cleaning and hygiene compliance.
A seamless Corian solid surface worktop with integrated sinks was chosen for its hygienic properties and streamlined design.
Comprehensive Refurbishment:
We replaced outdated parquet flooring with a new concrete screed and hygienic flooring, ensuring long-term durability.
The electrical systems, plumbing and foundational elements were upgraded to support the specific demands of a modern dental practice in a restricted environment.
Efficiency and Compliance:
Every aspect—from layout to material choice—was designed to enhance efficiency, patient flow and adherence to CQC guidelines, aligning with Prisoner Centred Dental Care’s dedication to high standards of prisoner care.
The completed dental unit at HMP Brixton is a fully functional, hygienic and compliant facility that enables Prisoner Centred Dental Care to provide high-quality, evidence-based dental care within the prison.
This transformation has improved staff workflow and patient experience, supporting the organisation’s mission to deliver best-practice care in a secure environment.
By collaborating closely with the client, we delivered a tailored solution that aligns with their unique operational and patient-care needs, ensuring a durable and efficient space that supports sustainable success in this specialised setting.
Working with Chester and his team at Eclipse to design and build our new dental surgery at HMP Brixton was an outstanding experience from start to finish. From the initial planning stages, it was clear that Chester brought extensive expertise in dental surgery design, covering critical aspects like infection control, efficient workflow and a welcoming aesthetic. His team kept us well-informed at every stage, and we felt confident in the careful attention to detail and proactive communication throughout the project.
Eclipse’s partner providers were equally impressive, showing a high level of professionalism and skill that contributed to a smooth, well-coordinated process. We could always rely on the back-office team to handle urgent inquiries quickly and effectively, providing invaluable support whenever needed.
The quality of craftsmanship was exceptional—the cabinetry, flooring, and all custom elements were made precisely to our specifications and aligned perfectly with our vision for the space. We couldn’t be happier with the final result, which combines both functionality and style. I would enthusiastically recommend Chester and his team for any dental practice build or remodel, and I look forward to working with them again in the future.
