CLINICAL UPDATE- Updated IPC guidance

Clinical Update - IPC Guidance update for care of all patients during winter 2021-22

The national IP&C Covid guidance has been reviewed and a new document has been produced by the National Ambulance Services Infection Prevention and Control Group (NASPICG), and reviewed by Quality Improvement, Governance and Risk Directors (QIGARD) and the Association Ambulance Chief Executives (AACE). The guidance has been approved by QIGARD and overseen and signed off by the UK national Infection Prevention and Control (IPC) Cell led by NHSEI.

In essence the guidance is to include the consideration that patients and/or staff may pose a respiratory infection risk for reasons other than Covid-19, including influenza and respiratory syncytial virus (RSV).
