Infection Prevention and Control and Antimicrobial Stewardship Action List for Nursing Homes
International Infection Prevention Week (IIPW), held from 13-19 October 2024, spotlights the importance of effective infection prevention and control measures throughout our health service in reducing infection.
To mark the awareness week, we are sharing our Infection Prevention and Control (IPC) and Antimicrobial Stewardship Action List specifically designed for nursing homes. Our IPC Action List offers comprehensive guidance on activities that an IPC team within a nursing home should be monitoring. This IPC Action List outlines several priority areas, including communication, IPC education and training, IPC risk management and preparation for emergency response or outbreak. The action list is available to download below.
