IMPORTANT ******* DRAFT HIQA PCHCAI STANDARDS .. For comment

Dear Colleague,
The Health Information and Quality Authority (HIQA) has developed the Draft revision of the national standards for the prevention and control of Healthcare Associated Infections. The draft revised national standards are designed to promote a culture of patient safety through the efforts of all staff working together to reduce Healthcare Associated Infections.

As the standards currently in use were published in 2009, the updated draft revised standards reflect up-to-date infection prevention and control best practice.

The public consultation will take place over a 6 week period from today Monday 10th October and will close at 5pm on Friday 18th November 2016.

We are interested in hearing your views on the draft standards and you are invited to submit your feedback on the draft standards document using the consultation form, available on: https://www.hiqa.ie/getting-involved/consultations-home
