Infection Control - Is It Only Skin Deep?
Infection Control practices put patients at risk
In 2006 the Patients Association continued its campaign with research into the situation on the the Infection Control frontline.
In November 2006 we launched our report 'Infection Control –Is It Only Skin Deep?' in which we surveyed those involved in Infection Control across the country.
The results are shocking and showed that over 90% of respondents had to spend clinical time reassuring patients worried about catching Healthcare Associated Infections and nearly half (45%) said that not all relevant staff were adequately trained in infection control practices.
