Your free guide: infection prevention and control in care

As we’re moving through the second wave of the pandemic, we know that you’ll want to do everything you can to keep your people and service users safe.

In addition, as part of their inspections, the Care Quality Commission (CQC) will look at how well staff and people living in care homes are protected by infection prevention and control (IPC) – key line of enquiry S5.

With that in mind, the care experts of buyacarehome partner, Citation, have put together a free guide sharing key questions they ask care providers when inspecting their site, specifically relating to infection prevention and control.

In the above free guide, they look at important areas such as the use of sharps, food hygiene, welfare training, personal protective clothing and equipment, workplace health, safety and welfare.
