Staff urged to maintain effective hygiene
Health workers are being told to commit to reducing infection risks in hospitals and the wider community.
A new policy to improve safety, named ANTT (Aseptic Non Touch Technique), has been adopted by the Department of Health and Social Care.
It's aimed at minimising outbreaks of illness through a standardised hygiene routine.
An increased focus on hand-washing, as well as extra patient screening, successfully limited the spread of MRSA at Noble's after an outbreak in 2015.
Health Minister David Ashford says a large part of it is about small changes:
Meningitis B vaccination scheme to be rolled out on-Island
Balthane Roundabout plans on hold until 2027/28 as costs rise
Port St Mary lifeboat launched to rescue stricken fishing vessel
Enquiries ongoing after 'shotgun-like sound' heard near Police Headquarters
MHK 'frustrated' at pace of progress over cigarettes and vaping products
