| Annotation | Good infection control is essential to protect the health of residents and staff in a residential care or nursing home. This manual is intended for use as a template to assist individual homes in writing their own infection control policies, and to enable registration and inspection officers to assess the quality of infection control. The manual covers: control of infectious diseases and outbreaks; occupational health; sharps and splash injury prevention and management; management and disposal of blood spillage; hand washing; safe handling of food; management of linen; disinfectants and domestic hygiene; disposal of clinical waste; and management of a body after death.
