•
Sa
ACTIVITY
Your employer should have a member of staff who is the lead for IP&C. This is the person you can ask if you have any questions about IP&C.
Undiagnosed skin rashes Some infections often seen in childhood such as Measles and Chicken Pox can be dangerous for some people including pregnant women
au
E
Your employer must provide you with policies which tell you how you do your work and you should read and follow these. There may be one IP&C policy with all information or there may be a folder containing different policies about IP&C.
•
for
The organisation you work for will be registered with the Care Quality Commission. This means they must comply with certain standards to ensure the safety of patients, staff and visitors. The standards relating to IP&C are written in a document called the Code of Practice for the prevention & control of infections. This is often called The Hygiene Code. You can find this Code on the internet at www.gov.uk/government/publications/the-healthand-social%20-care-act-2008-code-of-practice
Name:
E L P
Many organisations in health & social care carry out audits to assess standards for IP&C.
Infection prevention and control (IP&C) is an important part of caring for patients. If patients catch infections whilst receiving care, this could lead to them becoming very ill. As cleaners, your job of maintaining a clean environment is an essential part of infection prevention and control. Section 1 below explains how cross infection can happen and what we can do to prevent this. The remaining sections provide more details on prevention of cross-infection. At the end of this workbook there are some posters you can use.

Infection Prevention & Control: What is infection prevention and control (IPC)?
E L P
What is infection prevention and control (IPC)?
already ill, they can catch infections more easily and their illness can get worse. This is why IPC is so important.
IPC is the prevention of the spread of infections in health and care facilities and practice: • • •
From patient to patient From staff to patient Between staff
To catch an infection, someone has to come into contact with a large number of germs. Therefore they need to grow. Just like plants, in order to grow, germs need certain things, such as moisture and food. Proper cleaning can remove germs from the environment before they are able to do this.
M A X
How do germs spread?
Staff can include everyone, not just clinical staff.
What are infections?
The Chain of Infection on the following pages shows how germs spread.
Infections are caused when small organisms known as germs are able to enter people’s bodies and then grow. Most germs that cause disease are either bacteria or viruses.
E
Where do germs live?
Germs are found everywhere. Many germs do not cause infections, but live harmlessly in the environment or on us. The germs that live on us are called our normal flora and can help us in a number of ways. Other germs called pathogens can cause diseases if they enter our bodies. If people are
Info Box
Normal Flora
These are germs that live on and inside our bodies. The normal flora on our skin and other parts of our bodies such as the mouth and nose help to protect us against some disease causing germs. The normal flora in our guts helps us to digest food.
