Future Plans<br />

• Plans to be drawn up and incorporated into the<br />

<strong>2018</strong>/19 IPC work plan, to incorporate strategies to<br />

integrate Community staff, premises and education<br />

into the IPC audit and educational plan.<br />

• Co-ordination of the First Paediatrics SIG Conference<br />

in September <strong>2018</strong>.<br />

• Roll out of use of hand hygiene audit app (introduced<br />

originally on PICU and HDU) throughout the Trust.<br />

• Investigation of all Hospital acquired cases of<br />

Influenza and RSV during the winter season to<br />

ascertain if they could have been prevented and<br />

reporting back to the clinical teams the hospital<br />

acquired RSV and Influenza A rates by 1000 bed days<br />

• Audit of compliance with NICE guideline 139 (baseline<br />

review of urinary catheter management)<br />

• Business case to be presented for three ultra violet<br />

machines for the enhancement of the deep cleaning<br />

and PPM processes throughout the Trust.<br />

• Business case to be presented for new ‘Cephaid’<br />

machine for rapid identification of carbapenamase<br />

producing organisms therefore freeing up isolation<br />

cubicles.<br />

• Surgical Site Infection surveillance to be expanded to<br />

incorporate all inpatient surgical procedures.<br />

• To examine and update the Isolation policy<br />

incorporating the most up to date research and<br />

best practice available and benchmarking the policy<br />

against other Paediatric Specialist Hospitals in the<br />

country.<br />

• To explore and develop a process across the whole<br />

Trust to monitor Central Vascular Line (CVL) data per<br />

1000 catheter days and to benchmark these rates<br />

against other Paediatric Specialist Hospitals in the<br />

country.<br />

Further details of improvement plans are captured in<br />

the Infection Prevention & Control Work Plan which will<br />

continue to be rolled out in <strong>2018</strong>/19.<br />
