As we move into 2023, and are learning to live with COVID-19, it is time for us to refocus on restoring services and relook at the basics of IPC whilst embedding the lessons learned into forward planning. ‘’A dedicated leadership team who supported staff had oversight of IPC processes, managed priorities, and mitigated risk was essential for good infection prevention within the trusts. The leadership teams had oversight over hospital wards to ensure risks were well managed. Some executive teams used ward rounds to monitor compliance with IPC protocols. Visibility, approachability, and engagement of the senior leadership team were key.
For over 15 years the Knowlex team have been a trusted and valued resource for healthcare professionals.
