Infection prevention and control in community services

HIQA ( www.hiqa.ie) has developed specific national standards for community health and social care services in Ireland, which cover infection prevention and control and antimicrobial stewardship.
The standards outline 20 standard statements and cover important areas such as communicating well with people who use community health or social care services, involving people in making decisions about their care, providing care in a clean and safe environment and prescribing antimicrobial medication in a safe manner.
