23 Aug 2019

An aide memoire has been produced to ensure that clinical, estates, facilities and Infection Prevention and Control Teams (IPCT) have an understanding of the preventative measures required and appropriate actions that should be taken for healthcare water-associated incidents/outbreaks.

The aide memoire is an interim measure until delivery of comprehensive evidence-based guidance which will form Chapter 4 of the National Infection Prevention and Control Manual (NIPCM) on the built environment and decontamination.
