This Policy is one of the ‘Standard infection control precautions’ (SICPs) referred to by NHS England and NHS Improvement.
The cleanliness of the environment is important to support infection prevention and control, help reduce the incidence of healthcare-associated infections and ensure service user confidence.
All staff should know and understand the importance of thorough cleaning.
A downloadable Community Infection Prevention and Control (IPC) Policy which can be adopted by your organisation is available below. Alternatively, a complete set of IPC Guidance documents is available to purchase @ £69.99 – details can be found on the flyer and resource order form.
