1. Intrductin This Prgramme has been develped n behalf f East Kent Hspitals University NHS Fundatin Trust (EKHUFT) Infectin Preventin and Cntrl Cmmittee. The Infectin Preventin and Cntrl Prgramme exists t c-rdinate and mnitr the wrk f the Infectin Preventin and Cntrl Cmmittees and Teams in preventing and cntrlling infectin thrugh effective cmmunicatin, educatin, audit, surveillance, risk assessment, quality imprvement and develpment f plicies and prcedures. The Prgramme addresses the natinal and lcal pririties fr infectin preventin and cntrl and extends thrughut healthcare, health prtectin and health prmtin. Operatinal delivery f the prgramme is regularly mnitred and reviewed and reprted thrugh the detailed implementatin plan. The prgramme and assciated implementatin plan require all disciplines t wrk tgether t prmte gd infectin preventin and cntrl practice. Central t these effrts are the detailed wrk plans, gvernance systems, scrutiny and mnitring and reprting arrangements fr the effective preventin and cntrl f infectin acrss EKHUFT. Infectin preventin and cntrl clearly des nt rest slely within the dmains f ur Infectin Preventin and Cntrl Cmmittees and Teams. Everyne has infectin preventin and cntrl respnsibilities. Service users wh depend n EKHUFT require all f us t fllw best practice as described in the EKHUFT Infectin Preventin and Cntrl Manual. The Infectin Preventin and Cntrl Cmmittee and the Infectin Preventin and Cntrl Team (IPCT) with supprt f the link practitiners will c-rdinate delivery f this extensive bdy f wrk. All thse invlved in delivery f healthcare are participants in this prgramme by actively assisting thrugh each individual s infectin preventin and cntrl actins whether delivering r receiving care. 1.1 Aim f the Annual Prgramme The IPC Annual Prgramme fr 2017-18 is based n utilising perfrmance management systems t imprve patient safety, enhance quality f care and ensure cmpliance with the Cde f Practice with particular emphasis t prvide evidence based plicies t reducing the risks f acquisitin and spread f MRSA, C. difficile, antibitic resistant rganisms (i.e. CPO/GRE) and ther healthcare assciated infectins within the healthcare envirnments. 1.2 Care Quality Cmmissin The Health and Scial Care Act 2008 sets ut the verall framewrk fr the regulatin f health and scial care activities. Regulatins made under this Act describe the health and scial care activities that may nly be carried ut by prviders that are registered with the CQC. The Cde f Practice fr the preventin and cntrl f infectins (The Cde) states 10 criteria against which a registered prvider s cmpliance is mnitred and judged. Cmpliance criterin What the registered prvider will need t demnstrate 1 Systems t manage and mnitr the preventin and cntrl f infectin. These systems use risk assessments and cnsider hw susceptible service users are and any risks that their envirnment and ther users may pse t them. 2 Prvide and maintain a clean and apprpriate envirnment in managed premises that facilitates the preventin and cntrl f infectins. V.1 Page 3 f 21 June 2017

Develp and cmplete a prgramme f audit relating t infectin preventin and cntrl. An Infectin Preventin and Cntrl Team Annual Plan is prduced by the DDIPC which includes educatinal, audit and surveillance activities. The DIPC Annual Reprt is circulated t all the members f the Infectin Preventin and Cntrl Cmmittee (IPCC). The IPCT will identify requirements fr additinal resurces t supprt and prmte infectin preventin and cntrl practices. The IPCT Terms f Reference will be reviewed annually by the Infectin Preventin and Cntrl Team. V.1 Page 5 f 21 June 2017

3. Develpment Prcess This Annual Prgramme has been develped by the DDIPC, and then distributed t all Members f the Infectin Preventin and Cntrl Cmmittee (Appendix 1). 4. Rles and Respnsibilities The Chief Executive Officer, the DIPC and the Bard have the ultimate and cllective respnsibility fr ensuring that the imprtance f the preventin and cntrl f infectin is engendered in all staff. They must ensure that the prcesses and necessary resurces are available t allw fr effective preventin and cntrl f Infectin. The DIPC advises n the measures necessary fr the preventin and cntrl f Healthcare Assciated Infectins. Clinical Directrs and prfessinal leads ensure that mnitring f clinical practice is relevant t the cntrl f all HCAIs and is undertaken rutinely, that results are mnitred and actin taken as apprpriate. They must als ensure that all staff within their teams attend training, cmply with infectin preventin and cntrl plicies and practices, and clinical areas participate in apprpriate audits as recmmended by the Infectin Preventin and Cntrl Team/Cmmittee. Clinical staff: t attend annual infectin preventin and cntrl cntinuing educatin sessins; t cmply with practice recmmendatins at all times. Nn clinical staff: t cmply with standard infectin preventin and cntrl practice recmmendatins at all times. Infectin Preventin and Cntrl Team: The Infectin Preventin and Cntrl Team are respnsible fr prducing and updating all IPC plicies. They are als respnsible fr prviding expert supprt and advice n infectin preventin and cntrl issues. The IPCT will ensure apprpriate training and supprt n infectin preventin and cntrl issues are available fr staff. They will als prvide training t enable clinical staff t carry ut relevant infectin preventin and cntrl audits in their clinical areas. Peridically the IPCT will als perfrm audits and/r surveys n the wards and ther clinical areas. If audits, surveys r rutine surveillance data identify any areas f cncern, the IPCT will feed these back t the lcal Infectin Preventin and Cntrl Lead and ther relevant staff. In the event f an utbreak, IPCT will set up an Outbreak Cmmittee and will advise n any additinal prcedures which are required. 5. The Infectin Preventin and Cntrl Cmmittee (IPCC) The EKHUFT Infectin Preventin and Cntrl Cmmittee (IPCC) is a multidisciplinary Trust cmmittee which includes Divisinal Infectin Preventin and Cntrl Leads and external representatin frm the Kent, Surrey and Sussex Public Health Team (Public Health England) and the Infectin Preventin and Cntrl Leads frm Canterbury, Ashfrd, Suth Kent Cast and Thanet Clinical Cmmissining Grups. The IPCC versees the activity f the IPCT, supervises the implementatin f the Infectin preventin and cntrl Annual Prgramme, reviews Divisinal cmpliance with the Key Perfrmance Indicatr Targets, and hlds the Divisins t accunt as required. Arrangements are currently being discussed t prmte greater medical engagement frm the Divisins. The IPCC will cntinue t meet bi-mnthly during 2017-18, and will be chaired by the Chief Nurse. V.1 Page 6 f 21 June 2017

6. Key Areas f Infectin Preventin and Cntrl Activity The restructuring f the IPCT fcus is t assist, supprt and advise n measures that supprt the Trust cmpliance with the Cde f Practice (Health and Scial Care Act 2008) and t enhance the quality f care ffered t patients and demnstrate the reductin in the risks f acquiring HCAIs. Divisinal wnership and accuntability Perfrmance management in prmting Divisinal wnership and accuntability fr infectin preventin and cntrl will cntinue t be a key fcus during 2017/18. Divisinal Infectin Preventin and Cntrl Key Perfrmance Indicatr (KPI) primary fcus cntinues t be the management f C. difficile, MRSA and invasive devices, and CPOs as well as achieving full cmpliance with the requirements f the Cde f Practice. Mre Divisinal engagement will be required during 2017/18, particularly with regard t the RCA/PIR prcess fr cases f MRSA and C. difficile infectin. The IPCT have a high prfile in the clinical areas with regular visits t these areas t mnitr the cmpliance with effective islatin f patients, current practices and plicy implementatin. Daily - The IPCT react t ntificatins f infectins frm the labratry system thrugh VitalPAC. These are checked fr new and existing cases. On identificatin f new cases the IPCT cllect the demgraphic data n the patient and cmplete the apprpriate case infrmatin n the system. The clinical sites will be visited and/r phned (if a visit is nt pssible), cmmunicatin and advice given will be added t the patient electrnic recrd relating t prviding care pathways, patient infrmatin leaflets, islatin precautins and apprpriate treatment. Once per week The IPCT visit every inpatient area t review patients knwn t the service, prvide advice r infrmatin t staff n any existing patients nt knwn t the service. Once per mnth - the IPCT will liaise and wrk with the ICLPs incrprating educatinal sessins and review f audits which address lcalised Infectin preventin and cntrl issues. Once per year the IPCT will carry ut an envirnmental audit, write up the reprt, discuss real time cncerns and feedback timeline fr revisit where necessary; this is in additin t the envirnmental audits that are undertaken by the Senir Matrns. As required Telephne advice r visits t wards t deal with any clinical queries. This als includes the management f infectin preventin and cntrl incidents, perids f increased incidence (PII) and utbreaks. When required - the IPCT will discuss and advise n the apprpriate islatin f cases, supprt fr staff, cntact tracing, investigatin f surces/reasns fr utbreaks and planning f apprpriate actins. 7. Plicy/Guideline Develpment The plicies fr infectin preventin and cntrl underg regular review. The plicies are evaluated and up-dated fllwing risk assessment, and as new guidelines r evidence becme available, r alternatively every 2 years as stated in the Organisatins Plicy n Plicies, Standards, Prtcls and Guidelines. There is a planned prgramme fr the review f infectin preventin and cntrl plicies. Every clinical area has electrnic access t a cpy f the Infectin Preventin and Cntrl Manual cntaining the plicies. The IPCT are als invlved in advising departments n their individual plicies. 8. Audit Activities There is an annual audit prgramme f Infectin Preventin and Cntrl/Envirnmental audits in cnjunctin with the Husekeeping services, nursing and Allied staff. Every area is audited annually with a fllw up meeting arranged 6 weeks later t check n actin pints. V.1 Page 7 f 21 June 2017

There is an audit f cmpliance with key plicies/practice areas. The planned audit prgramme is part f the IPCT actin plan. An audit reprt and actin plan is prepared by the IPCT, presented t the IPCC n a quarterly basis and agreed with the cmmittee members - nce agreed this is then distributed t the key peple invlved. 9. Surveillance Activities Fr 2017/18 Surveillance f alert rganisms will cntinue and include the fllwing: Methicillin Resistant Staphylcccus aureus (MRSA) Methicillin Sensitive Staphylcccus aureus (MSSA) E. cli (E. cli) Streptcccus pygenes Mycbacterium tuberculsis Resistant Acinetbacter Glycpeptide Resistant Entercccus (GRE) Extended spectrum beta lactamase prducing Klebsiellae (ESBL s) Carbapenemase-prducing rganisms (CPO) All cases f MRSA bacteraemia will cntinue t be reprted internally via Datix. Mandatry surveillance f Staphylcccus aureus including Meticillin Resistant Staphylcccus aureus (MRSA) bacteraemia will cntinue. MRSA bacteraemia epidemilgical data will be reprted n a mnthly basis t all wards/departments as well as t the Executive Team, CCGs, Divisinal Infectin Preventin and Cntrl Leads, Matrns, Ward/Department Managers, Clinical Service Managers, Cnsultants and Junir Dctrs. The IPCT will cntinue t lead n all Pst Infectin Reviews (PIRs) (t be held within 14 wrking days f receipt f cnfirmatin f the prvisinal assignment frm PHE) regardless f whether the case has been prvisinally assigned t the Trust r ne f the CCGs. Greater engagement will be required frm the Divisins during 2017/18 with regard t cmpletin f the preliminary investigatin as part f the RCA and PIR prcess; this will be undertaken by the Ward Manager/Divisinal Matrn in cnjunctin with the IPCT. The Ward Manager/Divisinal Matrn must assist with arranging the PIR Meeting and will be required t present the case at the PIR meeting, which will be chaired by the site-based IPC Clinical Nurse Specialist. The PIR Meeting will be held within 14 wrking days f cnfirmatin f the bacteraemia and prvisinal assignment frm PHE. Attendees will be: the Ward Manager r Ward Sister/Charge Nurse Divisinal Matrn(s) Divisinal Head f Nursing the patient s Medical Cnsultant/Registrar Site based Cnsultant Micrbilgist CCG Head f Infectin Preventin and Cntrl Antimicrbial Pharmacist. Cmpletin f the PIR actin plan, ensuring that all actins are signed ff as cmplete within a specified time-frame, will be mnitred by the IPCT in cnjunctin with the Senir Divisinal Matrn and the Head f Nursing. V.1 Page 8 f 21 June 2017

The IPCT will review all PIRs undertaken fr cmpletin f actins verall; where these have nt been cmpleted, this will be escalated t the Divisinal Head f Nursing and Divisinal Medical Directr by the DIPC. The Ward Manager and Divisinal Matrn will be required t present the PIR at the IPCC. The Divisinal Head f Nursing and Divisinal Medical Directr will be required t ensure that learning frm PIRs is shared acrss the Divisin and that the PIR is reprted via the Divisinal gvernance framewrk. Reviews f individual MRSA clnised inpatients and review meetings fr any declaratin f an MRSA Perid f Increased Incidence (PII) where there are 2 r mre cases f MRSA acquisitin n a ward with a calendar mnth (patients with n previus histry f MRSA) - will be held in cnjunctin with the Ward Manager and the Divisinal Matrn. These Meetings will be reprted in the Infectin Preventin and Cntrl Mnthly Reprt t the Divisins and at the IPCC. Cmpliance with the management f invasive devices will cntinue t be reprted via the VitalPAC Indwelling Devices Reprt, which is submitted t the IPCC. The Clstridium difficile target fr 2017/18 is 46 cases. Rt Cause Analysis fr all cases f hspital acquired Clstridium difficile infectin will cntinue. Cases will cntinue t be deemed as avidable/unavidable and cmpliant/nn-cmpliant, and the justificatin fr these decisins will be clearly recrded. A prvisinal decisin as t whether r nt there has been a lapse f care will be made at the RCA, and frmally agreed at the CCG Task and Finish Grup, which meets bi-mnthly. Failure t apprpriately assess patients using the existing Diarrhea Assessment Tl has led t the IPCT develping and implementing a revised assessment Tl, and will supprt the Ward Managers and Matrns in ensuring that staff understand and are cmpetent with this prcedure. In additin t the abve, the IPCT will ensure that staff fully implement the C. difficile Patient Management Plan fr patients wh are diagnsed with GDH antigen r txin psitive C. difficile infectin. The IPCT will liaise with the CCGs and the IPCT fr Kent Cmmunity Health NHS Fundatin Trust regarding pre-72 hur cases f C. difficile as apprpriate if there are links t EKHUFT. The ward manager will carry ut cmpletin f a Datix Incident Reprt fr all > 72 hur C. difficile txin psitive cases. The Divisinal Matrn will be the nminated investigatr, supprted by IPCT. Once a mnth, the IPCT will identify whether any patients with knwn C. difficile infectin (pre and pst 72 hur cases) have died, and review the death certificate. Fr pst-72 hur cases, in the event that C. difficile is recrded n part 1a f the Death Certificate, the IPCT will liaise with the Clinical Risk Department regarding whether r nt this meets the criteria fr reprting n STEIS. Fr pre-72 hur cases, the IPCT will infrm the apprpriate CCG Chief Nurse and Quality Lead, wh will reprt the patient s death as apprpriate within their rganisatin. A Rt Cause Analysis meeting may be held, attended by the IPCT, if the patient was an inpatient within EKHUFT. A Perid f Increased Incidence will be declared in the fllwing circumstances: 2 r mre cases f C. difficile infectin ccurring > 72 hurs pst admissin n a ward within 28 days; where initial ribtyping identifies the same strain, a Serius Untward Incident (SUI) will be reprted pending enhanced finger printing. Shuld this then identify that the islates are indistinguishable, the IPCT will cnclude that crss-infectin has ccurred, and the incident will be reprted as an Outbreak as per DH guidelines (DH, 2008); 2 r mre cases f C. difficile infectin in patients with the same Cnsultant; V.1 Page 9 f 21 June 2017

2 r mre cases f GDH antigen acquisitin ccurring > 72 hurs pst admissin within 28 days; there is a burden f C. difficile infectin and GDH carriage at any time (these may be pre r pst 72 hur cases), which in itself increases the risk f a C. difficile cluster/utbreak; where a PII has been declared fr 2 r mre cases f C. difficile infectin ccurring > 72 hurs pst admissin within 28 days, the Ward Manager and the Divisinal Medical Lead, will be required t present the PII at the next Infectin Preventin and Cntrl Cmmittee meeting; ribtyping f C. difficile txin psitive islates will cntinue t be undertaken fr > 72 hur cases t distinguish between spradic cases and utbreaks; audit f antibitic prescribing in wards where there has been a PII t be requested by the DIPC; cleaning will be reviewed by the site-based IPCT as part f the RCA preliminary investigatin; envirnmental and clinical practice standards audits revisited by wards experiencing 2 r mre cases in a 28 day perid plus enhanced supprt frm the IPCT; the prgramme f actins fr individual cases f C. difficile will be carried ut by the IPCT as described in the revised Trust Plicy fr Preventin, Cntrl and Management f C. difficile. E. cli bld stream surveillance Mandatry surveillance f E. cli bld stream infectins cntinues t be undertaken within EKHUFT by the IPCT. MSSA bldstream surveillance RCAs will be undertaken in cnjunctin with the Divisins fr all cases f MSSA bacteraemia ccurring within 30 days f surgery, r where they are assciated with an intravascular access device. Internal surveillance reprting Mandatry surveillance f C. difficile will cntinue and C. difficile epidemilgical data will cntinue t be reprted n a mnthly basis t the Executive Team, all wards/departments, Matrns, Ward/Department Managers, Cnsultants and Junir Dctrs. An utbreak f C. difficile infectin will be called if there are 2 r mre cases caused by the same strain related in time and place, ver a defined perid that is based n the date f nset f the first case (DH, 2008), and reprted as Serius Untward Incidents via the Clinical Risk Department. The DIPC will cmpile a register f all deaths ccurring within 30 days f a C. difficile diagnsis and reprt the mrtality rate t the Patient Safety Bard.
