The Service continues to sustain the required level of compliance against mandatory audits for hand hygiene and cleanliness of the healthcare environment. Good compliance with Standard Infection Control Precautions is also being maintained. The new 5 moments for hand hygiene posters have been distributed across the Service and a national bulletin was distributed informing staff of the mandatory requirement to complete the new NHS Education Scotland hand hygiene module (Pages 3, 5 10). Please note the missing data points on some of the run charts on pages 5-10 was due to a lack of resource to complete audits as the department was undergoing a period of recruitment. Timing Link to Corporate Objectives Contribution to the 2020 vision for Health and Social Care Benefit to Patients Good progress continues against the new target for recording application of the PVC insertion bundle (Page 4) This paper is presented to the Board bi-monthly in the Scottish Government s prescribed template A patient safety work programme must include ongoing work to prevent and reduce the risk of HAI for patients, staff and the public. The work and information referred to in this report supports the Service in its contribution to the 2020 Vision for Health and Social Care in relation to Safe and Effective Care. Safe clinical practices, a clean environment and patient care equipment protect patients from the risk of Healthcare Associated Infection (HAI).

Further attention is required in all areas to continue to improve on this.

Numbers are currently being collated to arrange distribution of the pocket cards to the community first responder groups.

Hand hygiene compliance scores for the Service overall and each Division for the last year are reported in section 2.
