To support the change in visiting in Care homes hospices and hospitals the UK Health Security Agency published, on the 15th of April, guidance to inform risk assessment when Supporting safer visiting in care homes during infectious illness outbreaks.

Care Homes have an overriding duty of care to the people they look after which includes ensuring they always have enough of the right medication at the right time to meet all of their resident’s needs.

It is important for everyone working in care to understand the principles of infection prevention and control. Good infection prevention and control will minimise the risk of healthcare associated infections and will help protect both the people you care for and yourself.

For some of the people you look after a degree of confusion, caused by anxiety and agitation, can impact on their day to day life.
