of sanitaryware installations as a residual risk to be managed by the end-user, in turn reducing lifecycle risks to the site.
n An enhanced understanding around the interface between IPC and CDM (Construction Design and Management Regulation 2015), especially around the pathogenic contaminants that a construction project can inherently create, and the need to manage this during the works.
n The development of an improved IPC internal protocol, aligned to IPC principles, and derived from guidance such as HTM 00-09, along with best practice, aims to ensure that all elements of design are considered from an IPC perspective, and the allocation of a RAG rating / Risk flagging system that at a glance highlights some of the emerging IPC risks and clinical risk profile.

Following the pandemic, the NHS demonstrably
upskilled its workforce with documents such as The infection prevention and control education framework in March 2023. This followed on from publications such as A rapid review of aerosol generating procedures (AGPs) in June 2022. Realising that IPC guidance was spread across multiple sources, the Healthcare Associated Infection (HCAI) compendium of guidance and resources was released by NHS England in February 2023. With a recent revision and update in August 2024, this remains an excellent source of all things IPC, and a good starting point for upskilling not just the NHS workforce, but also those who design and deliver facilities for them. In our final article of this series on IPC, we will be looking at the development of HLM’s improved infection control tool.
