Higher hygiene
August 1st 2010 The Care Quality Commission is
the independent regulator of
health care and adult social care
services in England. One of its
aims is the 'gathering and using
of knowledge and expertise and
working with others.'
The approach of working with
others is exemplified at the West
London Mental Health NHS Trust
where cleaning and hygiene
specialist CK Group was called in
to supply infection control
expertise, its recommended
cleaning products and qualified
staff.
Following a health care
associated infection (HCAI)
inspection in 2009, the Trust
established an action plan with
CK Group.A re-inspection by
CQC's HCAI inspectors in
February 2010 found no breaches
of the Hygiene Code and noted
the improvements made.
"We allow complete choice in
providing cleaning services,
intensive deep cleans whenever
needed, or we supply the tools to
do the job,"
says Ian
Pether, CK
Group MD.
"We fully
welcomed
the
opportunity
to work with
the Trust." More articles from City & Kent Cleaning Ltd: |
