Outcome of the Infection prevention and control practice standard consultation
Thank you to those that provided feedback during the consultation on proposed updates to the Infection prevention and control practice standard.
The standards were refined following feedback and the updated practice standard can now be found here on our website.
Details of the consultation outcome, including the feedback received, can be found here.
A new format was adopted to more clearly separate practitioner obligations from the supporting guidance to help with compliance. The same format will be adopted for the other practice standards.
Please familiarise yourselves with the standards to ensure compliance, and refer to the guidance to support understanding of your responsibilities.
