This Policy is one of the ‘Standard infection control precautions’ (SICPs) referred to by NHS England.
Respiratory and cough hygiene can help reduce the risk of spreading respiratory (related to breathing) infections, protecting those in contact with the infected person, e.g. service users, family and staff.
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 Policies for Domiciliary Care staff is available to purchase @ £74.99, including postage – details can be found on the flyer and resource order form below.
