close International Infection Prevention and Control Week

We close International Infection Prevention and Control Week by focusing on safety across all care settings. Norovirus, a highly contagious virus, poses significant risks if not managed well. 

🛑 What’s Included Today: 

• Check out the Stop Norovirus Spreading poster to prevent outbreaks. https://assets.publishing.service.gov.uk/media/642d970bddf8ad000cac0eb1/stop-norovirus-spreading-poster.pdf
• Review discharge planning tools from our September Newsletter (attached)to improve infection control post-care. 

Let’s continue to ensure safety throughout the continuum of care. 

The week concludes, but it’s essential to keep practicing IPC standards daily to protect yourselves as well as the patients and communities. 

Let’s continue to grow and advance together as IPC professionals.
