Infection control masterclass

iDCS, the specialised hospital and healthcare deep cleaning service division of cleaning contractor CK Group, presented an infection control masterclass at the Infection 2010 Conference, which took place in London early February.

The presentation by Ian Pether, MD of iDCS, who has also appeared on NHS247 TV and contributed to various debates as a valued expert on the subject of Healthcare Acquired Infections (HCAIs), was described as 'thought-provoking.' In particular, Pether discussed the need for cleaning that is effective, and how this was something that all staff needed to be involved in.

"It is vital to be sure that the healthcare sector is doing everything to keep the environment as clean as we can, giving staff and patients confidence that we deliver clean, safe care,"summarised Pether.
