Why is infection prevention and control important? 

Infection prevention solutions help to prevent the spread of infections in hospitals, surgical sites, nursing homes and healthcare settings. These outbreaks can pose a serious threat to the health and safety of your patients and staff. 

  • Approximately 834,000 patients will acquire a preventable infection in an NHS Hospital in England 
  • Resulting in around 28,500 deaths annually 
  • While 21% of all bed days per year are occupied by HCAI patients.* 

Ensuring strict procedures for equipment cleaning, carrying out specialist disinfection with the right chemicals and deploying technology in the right places is key to control outbreaks.
