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:
College outlined 'fragile' financial position in letter to enterprise minister
'Stay cautious' after global disruption to Microsoft
Tiny percentage of government buildings have solar panels
Douglas East candidate says integrity of whole election has been cast into doubt'
