Musgrave Park Hospital, Belfast - 10 March 2011 - Regulation and ...

planning documentation has recently been devised which will allow
nurses to capture this information.
A review of COSHH data sheets indicated that nursing staff have
access to a data sheet for Actichlor Plus disinfectant. Inspectors also
noted that mechanisms are in place to ensure urgent cleaning is
carried out as needed.
In both wards staff were unable to change into their uniform on arriving
and prior to leaving work as appropriate facilities have not been
provided.
Recommendations
27. The trust and individual staff have a collective responsibility
to ensure that all PPE is available and disposed of
appropriately.
28. The trust should ensure the continued development and
implementation of care plans that reflect the infection
prevention and control needs of the patient.
29. The trust should ensure that the requirement for staff
changing facilities as set out by the Department of Health
building standard are incorporated into future new build
plans.
