SICPs and TBPs (Standard infection control precautions and Transmission based precautions) Policy for General Practice
All staff in all situations involving the care of patients or contact with their environment must use ‘Standard infection control precautions’ (SICPs). SICPs may be insufficient to prevent cross transmission of specific infectious agents. Therefore, additional ‘Transmission based precautions’ (TBPs) are required to be used by staff when caring for patients with a confirmed or suspected infection or colonisation.
A downloadable Community IPC Policy for General Practice which can be adopted by your organisation is available below. Also suitable for use within Dental Practice and Podiatry.
Alternatively, a complete set of IPC Policies are available to purchase @ £85.99, including postage – details can be found on the flyer and resource order form.
