🦠 It's International Infection Prevention Week!
Infection prevention is a fundamental part of safe, high-quality healthcare, helping to protect patients, families and healthcare professionals every day.
From effective hand hygiene and equipment cleaning to maintaining safe clinical environments, even the smallest actions can make a meaningful difference.
This week, we're recognising the dedication of healthcare professionals who work tirelessly to maintain high standards of infection prevention across our NHS. 💜
