Infection Prevention and Control Policy

Updated on 27 January 2025 BrisDoc Governance Team

Introduction

Infection prevention and control (IPC) is a complex, multi-faceted topic encompassing the safe care and treatment of patients, premises, and equipment. As well as understanding of sustainability and environmental considerations, within a robust governance process.

BrisDoc is committed to ensuring the highest possible standard of safe and effective IPC for all patients, carers, and co-owners.  Effective IPC must be part of BrisDoc’s everyday practice and be consistently applied by everyone in the organisation as part of our Brisdoc values.

Important guidance documents referred to and followed within this Policy:

  • National Infection Prevention Control Manual (NIPCM) for England (2023)

 

  • Health and social Care Act Code of Practice on the prevention and control of infections and related guidance (2008)

 

  • National Standards of Healthcare Cleanliness (2021)

 

  • Health and Safety (Sharps Instruments in healthcare) Regulations (2013)

 

  • Infection prevention and control – Care Quality Commission (CQC.org.uk) (2024)

 

This policy is not exhaustive in defining IPC and situations may arise not outlined within this policy, Co-owners should use a common-sense approach in adhering to the principles underpinning this policy and seek help when required.
