BrisDoc is firmly committed to delivering the highest possible standard of Infection Prevention Control (IPC) that is both safe and clinically effective for all our patients, staff, and community.
Patients, Clinicians and Operations staff are put at potential risk of developing a healthcare-associated infection with contaminated hands. Hand hygiene is considered a primary measure for reducing the risk of transmitting infection among patients and health care personnel. It is the simplest but most effective way of preventing infection and the spread of disease.
The Handwashing Awareness Audit SOP explains the process required for Operational Hosts, all face to face Clinicians and Governance teams. The SOP includes awareness of the correct techniques of handwashing, the importance of good hand hygiene as well as how to record each encounter of handwashing and monitor the data to ensure the organisation is delivering on its hand-washing goals.
