Infection Prevention Week is celebrated on the third week of every year in October as a way of improving awareness on infection prevention. π¦ π«
Infections often happen because of poor hygiene and practices in hospitals, and infectious diseases can lead to pandemics when they spread quickly. Infections in homes, workplaces, or hospitals can affect people's health and make it harder for healthcare workers to do their jobs.
That's why infection prevention is so important! This week, we want to thank the Southwell Infection Prevention team for all they do to educate and guide our staff members in infection prevention! π
