3 1. Executive Summary Pennine Care NHS Foundation Trust provides specialist mental health services in a variety of community and inpatient settings across Bury, Rochdale, Oldham, Stockport, Tameside and Glossop. As an NHS organisation the Trust is committed to reducing the incidence of Health Care Associated Infections (HCAIs). The report is for the period April 2010 to March It also includes the Infection Prevention and Control (IPC) plans which include the audit and training planned for April 2011 to March The report outlines the accountability arrangements for IPC in the trust. The text outlines the activities of the Trust relating to IPC that aim to minimise the risk of HCAIs including surveillance, audit, quality accounts, antimicrobial stewardship, policy development and review, incident reporting, education and training and the prevention and management of outbreaks. The trust has implemented a programme of activities to embrace new national initiatives and effectively prevent and control HCAIs across the trust. The Health and Social Care Act 2008 outlines a clear code of practice for IPC. Pennine Care strives to achieve excellence in all aspects of the code. The Trust registered with the Care Quality Commission against the code of practice for Safeguarding and Safety Outcome 8: Cleanliness and IPC. The Trust is also assessed against risk management standards set by the National Health Service Litigation Authority (NHSLA) at level 1. The successful management, prevention and control of infection is recognised by the Trust as a key factor in the quality and safety of care of inpatients/service users as well as ensuring a clean and well maintained environment which the Modern Matrons enforce in inpatient units, drug and alcohol and Child Adolescence Mental Health Service (CAMHS). The Board receives regular reports in relation to IPC via the medical Director who is the Director of IPC (DIPC) and the chair of the IPC Committee. There is a Board Level Agreement signed by the Chairman and Chief Executive (Appendix A). IPC incidents are reported via the risk management reporting system and root cause analysis is undertaken when cases of new MRSA, Clostridium Difficile or an outbreak occurs, these are reviewed and any action plans agreed and monitored by the Trusts Committees. 3
4 2. Pennine Care Infection Prevention and Control Strategy 2.1 Aim Introduction The Department of Health has published a number of guidance documents to help NHS trusts to plan and implement how they can prevent and control HCAIs. Winning Ways: Working together to reduce Healthcare Associated Infection in England (2003) and The Health and Social Care Act 2008 Code of Practice for the Prevention and Control of Health Care Associated Infections. Good management and organisation is crucial to establishing high standards of IPC. The systems for the prevention and control of infections associated with healthcare have to address leadership, management arrangements, design and maintenance of the environment and devices, provide application of evidence based protocols and practices for both users and staff and provide education, training, information and communication. Effective prevention and control of HCAI has to be embedded into everyday practice and applied consistently by everyone. Pennine Care is committed to reducing the risk of infections to a minimum through effective IPC practice. IPC will be embedded in everyday practice across the organisation. 2.2 Scope The IPC Strategy is concerned with the prevention of avoidable risks of infection and the control and management of all unavoidable risks of infection to patients, service users, visitors and staff. 2.3 Objectives To ensure that IPC is an integral part of the service delivery. To ensure that HCAIs are reduced to a minimum. To maintain compliance with all requirements of the Health and Social Care Act To ensure Pennine Care have policies and procedures in place to fulfil the requirements and comply to the Code of Practice for the prevention and control of HCAIs as outlined in the Health and Social Care Act (2008). To ensure compliance with risk management standards as part of NHSLA. 4
5 To work with other stakeholders to improve surveillance and to strengthen prevention and control of infection and communicable disease processes. To ensure information is available to patients and the public about the organisations general processes and arrangements for preventing and controlling HCAI (Health & Social Care Act 2008). To ensure decontamination across the Trust meets all the National mandatory requirements. To provide education and training on prevention and control of infection to ensure staff understand their responsibilities. To ensure prudent antimicrobial prescribing and reduce inappropriate prescribing of antimicrobials which can result in the spread of resistance. To ensure appropriate information is communicated relating to infection risk and outbreaks to all relevant parties. To work with the local Health Protection Agency (HPA) to ensure good IPC practices across the trust. To completed all Assurance frame work documentation to ensure compliance against the Health and Social care Act Roles and Responsibilities The Pennine Care Board and ultimately the Chief Executive carries responsibility for IPC. For day to day management this is delegated to the Medical Director who is the Director of IPC (DIPC). All managers and clinicians must ensure that the management of IPC risks are one of the fundamental duties. Every clinical member of staff must demonstrate commitment to reducing the risk of infection through good IPC practice. This will be implemented, monitored and evaluated through staff IPDR processes. Role of Director of Infection Prevention & Control (DIPC) The DIPC is responsible for monitoring and overseeing IPC policies and reports directly to the Chief Executive Officer and the Board.

Care Quality Commission Visit An inspection took place on 16 th and 17 th December 2009 in relation to the Trusts compliance against the Code of practice on Health Care Associated Infection s. Of the 15 measures inspected. No area of concern was seen in 12 and 3 needed improvement. The findings included: The need to audit the cleanliness of equipment. The need to ensure that staff are trained to clean equipment effectively. Review the use and organisation of store rooms. The Trust was re-visited in relation to IPC by the Care Quality Commission in February 2010 and given a clean bill of health. During the last 12 months there has been an improvement in all areas of the Trust regarding cleanliness and the environment and IPC. Incidents are down, last years we had 22 sharps injuries which was similar to other Mental Health trusts this year we had 9. Cleanliness scores now all average over 90% which is compliant with environment and equipment standards set in the assurance framework. The Trust PEAT scores for the environment have shown an improvement with five areas now scoring excellent. Infection rates have remained stable. All wards now have cleaning schedules for clinical areas and equipment, which are monitored by the ward/ service managers, and staff have a greater understanding of the importance of IPC. Estates HCAI action plan has meant wards have had flooring changed, new furniture, mattresses, bedding and curtains making the ward and clinic areas easier to maintain the high standards now set. The Deputy Director of Nursing & Integrated Governance along with the IPCN has done spot checks on wards in the Trust over the last 12 months. Staff and patients are asked about the environment and if anything can be improved. A verbal report is fed back to the nurse in charge of the ward and service manager if available on the day of the visit. A written report is sent to the ward manager and matron with audit feedback and any actions picked up from the visit. This is an ongoing programme and visits are planned for the next 12 months to include patient representation and other directors. The action plan for IPC for was reviewed at each IPC Committee and was completed by March 2011 see Appendix B. 11
12 7. Audits The environment audits are completed on inpatient units every 6 months. See audit plan for the year, Appendix C. The audit report for July deemed all wards compliant with a rating of over 85% following the national scoring tool. In the audit plan, wards not audited in July had not opened and the day hospitals are audited once a year following national standards. Action plans were completed by ward managers and after 3 months these were reviewed by the IPCN and the Matrons and this was reported back to the IPC Committee. The audit was repeated in January by the Matrons to cover the depleted IPC team. The audit plan for the next 12 months is contained in the IPC action plan Appendix D Hand Hygiene Audits Hand hygiene audits have been completed every three months in accordance with the Assurance Framework and PEAT assessments. The audits follow the World Health Organisation 5 moments for hand hygiene and compliance has been good with 98% staff compliance. Mattress Audits Mattresses are checked and cleaned every time a patient is discharged from a ward then every 6 months the mattresses are unzipped and the inside of the mattress checked the results are reported, any damaged or stained covers are changed and any stained inner mattress is replaced. Many areas have received new mattresses in the last 12 months. Antimicrobial Audits These are completed every 3 months by the pharmacists and the compliance rate reported in the Assurance Framework the results are reported through the IPC Committee and the Drug and Therapeutic Committee. The new antimicrobial pharmacist is reviewing the audit tool. The IPCN and Antimicrobial pharmacist plan to do joint audits to look at the treatment of the infection and offer training to reduce the use of antibiotics Deloitte Independent Assurance Report on IPC The Trust commissioned an independent assurance report on IPC. The report gave substantial assurance to the Trust. 12
13 8. Incidents During the last 12 months sharps awareness and training on the safe use of sharps has been a high priority. The introduction of needle safety devices throughout the Trust has highlighted the need for safe practice. Incidents involving sharps and IPC have reduced considerably over the last year from 52 down to 26 Cause Code Apr 09 - Mar 10 Apr 10 - Mar IPC Incident Needlestick Injury Sharps - Disposal Sharps - Misc Spillages 1 0 Total Directorate Apr 09 - Mar 10 Apr 10 - Mar 11 Bury 4 1 Oldham 7 6 Rehabilitation & High Support 12 4 Rochdale 8 4 Specialist Services CAMHS 3 2 Specialist Services D&A 4 1 Stockport 8 3 Tameside & Glossop 6 5 Total Bury Oldham Rehabilitation & High Support Rochdale Specialist Services CAMHS Specialist Services D&A Stockport Tameside & Glossop Apr 09 - Mar 10 Apr 09 - Mar 11 IPC/Sharps/Needlestick Incidents By Directorate 13

Training Pennine Care continues to be a member of the NPSA Clean Your Hands Campaign, this has contributed to the increased staff awareness regarding the importance of hand washing and annual training. All areas display the posters. The number of Pennine Care NHS Foundation Trust staff who have attended IPC training : Induction Mandatory Total The training plan for IPC is contained in the Action plan Appendix D 10. HCAIs MRSA, ESBL s & Clostridium Difficile (Surveillance) The Department of Health requires mandatory surveillance and reporting of some types of infection, including MRSA bacteraemia, Clostridium Difficile and Extended Spectrum Beta Lactamase (ESBL) Producing E. Coli. Pennine Care is complying with this requirement through Service Level Agreements with 3 General Acute Trusts, who provide monitoring and reporting of all Health Care Associated Infections (HCAI) affecting patients in Pennine Care inpatient services. Pennine Care have had no MRSA Bacteraemias for April 2010 March Since January 2010 MSSA Bacteraemias now have to be reported the Trust have had none. All new MRSA skin infections, ESBL and Clostridium Difficile cases have a Root Cause Analysis performed by the IPC Nurses who then reported this to the IPC Committee. MRSA and Clostridium Difficile have individual policies to make it easier for staff to follow the correct procedure and staff are updated on standard precautions and cleaning of equipment to reduce the risk of cross infection.

Membership of the Committee includes colleagues from the Acute and Primary Care Trusts, ensuring that Pennine Care works collaboratively with partner organizations, and that agreed standards are applied consistently across the health economy. All prescribing of antibiotics within Pennine Care complies with standards of good practice observed within Primary Care and Acute Trusts. Antibiotic auditing has been implemented every 3 months to monitor the policies and guidelines for antibiotic prescribing is being followed. A new antimicrobial pharmacist was appointed at the end of last year and will be working closely with the IPCN. The auditing has shown there may be improvements that can be made and the IPCN and antimicrobial pharmacist are starting to look at improving the audit and improving practice. 12. Cleaning the Environment and Decontamination Procedure As Pennine Care is a Mental Health Trust, there is very little usage of invasive medical equipment, which would require decontamination through sterilization before reuse. The few exceptions to this would be equipment contained in emergency resuscitation, e.g. Laryngoscope blade. When required, decontamination is provided via service levels agreements with the Acute Trusts. However all equipment used for patient care must be cleaned and disinfected appropriately if it is not single patient use. Guidance on cleaning and decontamination procedures is included in the Trust Medical Devices Management Policy and the Cleaning Policy. In specific areas there has been an increase in domestic input to improve standards of cleanliness and Pennine Care has introduced our 16
17 own cleaning staff. These cleaners receive IPC training and report to the Estates Department. The Trust has an ongoing programme of cleanliness monitoring checks and all inpatient areas are checked on a monthly basis. A cleanliness report goes to the IPC Committee and any problems are highlighted and actions taken, to ensure a high standard of cleanliness continues. (See Appendix F) The IPCNs meet monthly with the Estates Maintenance and Facilities Managers, Modern Matrons and Domestic Monitoring Officer to discuss any cleanliness and environmental issues. The Matrons are on the wards regularly and walk around to assess the cleanliness and ward environment. The Matrons monitor the ward environments on a monthly basis with the Domestic Monitoring Officer. New procedures were introduced for monitoring cleanliness from March 2010 but it took until June to bed these procedures and processes in place. April and May scores were excluded from the PEAT assessment changing the average for this assessment. The cleanliness monitoring report does show a marked improvement by nursing staff in the cleaning and decontamination of medical devices/equipment. (Appendix F) 12.1 Deep Cleaning The deep cleaning programme is led by the Estates Department. All wards were deep over the last 12 months and any extra requests or wards following an outbreak of Diarrhoea and Vomiting received a deep clean Patient Environment Action Teams (PEAT Assessments) The assessments were undertaken in February 2011 and March The IPC nurse was part of the assessment team.

Planning and Refurbishment During the last year a lot of the trusts buildings have been renovated and updated. The CNS: IPC/Physical Health is available for advice reequipment and the new building Infection Control in the Built Environment (NHS Estates 2001) is used regarding advice. 14. Flu Vaccination programme As part of our winter planning arrangements, Pennine Care undertook a programme of Flu vaccinations. Flu vaccinations were offered to all inpatients over 65 years who were not able to access this from their GP due to being in hospital, and also inpatient service users under 65 years who were considered to be at high risk, due to physical health problems. Flu vaccination was also promoted for residents of long stay Forensic & High Support Units. In most cases this was accessed via GP services. The Trust also promoted the uptake of Flu vaccinations for all relevant service users and staff across all community services areas. Anaphylaxis training was also offered to staff in each borough, as administration of a vaccine could not be given without this. 18
