Getting a head start on flu and other infections
As we brace for the approaching colder months, we must also prepare for the inevitable surge in seasonal illnesses like flu and COVID-19.
In a recent blog post, Deborah Sturdy, Chief Nurse for Adult Social Care, emphasised the importance of safeguarding the health of care colleagues and those they support. Vaccination is one essential way of achieving this.
Alongside flu and COVID-19 vaccinations, care and health providers are urged to maintain the highest standards of infection prevention and control (IPC) and encouraged to sign up to Queen’s Nursing Institute’s IPC Champions Network.
