Infection Prevention and Control

The Infection Prevention and Control (IPC) Team plays a vital role in keeping patients, staff and visitors safe by reducing the risk of healthcare‑associated infections across the Trust. We work collaboratively with clinical, corporate and support services to promote best practice, provide expert advice, and support compliance with national guidance and local policy.

This intranet site is your central resource for IPC information and support. Here you will find clear guidance, policies and procedures, education and training resources, audit and quality improvement updates, and details on how to contact the IPC team. The content is designed to support safe, high‑quality care and to help staff make informed decisions in their day‑to‑day practice.

The IPC team is committed to continuous improvement, learning and staff engagement. We aim to provide practical, proportionate advice that supports patient safety, regulatory compliance and a positive safety culture across all care settings.

Please use this page to access the resources you need, keep up to date with IPC priorities, and find out how we can support you.
