Infection Control Protects Everyone
Captions available
The idea
An infection a patient picks up while receiving medical care is called a healthcare-associated infection.
In practice
Germs travel on hands, equipment and surfaces from one patient to the next, so every visit to a practice carries some risk unless the staff work to prevent it.
Where people slip
Infection control protects you and your family as well as your patients.
