Click on the image above to be directed to the Goal Three Sway document to find out how the Trust is improving the use of PPE

PPE provides a physical barrier between the health worker and hazardous agents and is vital for infection prevention and control.
 
Despite well defined protocols and procedures, adherence to PPE practices has been a challenge in healthcare settings. Individual, environmental and organisational factors could considerably impact on PPE related behaviours.
 
Adequate supply and training on its use are both critical, as is a culture of safety. PPE is only one in a range of IPC measures to prevent the spread of infection.
