Abstract
In today’s health care environment, many individuals are susceptible to infections. This impacts upon patient recovery and considerably increases costs to the NHS (National Audit Office 2000).
Infections do not recognise institutional or societal boundaries. All health care workers (HCWs) must embrace the fact that the observance and compliance with the standard principles of infection control practice with all patients at all times will assist in minimising the transmission of infection to patients, staff and visitors (Pratt et al 2001).
