- Title
Infection control in the community.
- Authors
Higginson, Ray
- Abstract
The article explores some of the specific infection risks linked with community-based care, along with effective infection control measures. Understanding direct and indirect modes of transmission is essential for effective infection control in any clinical environment. An unhygienic environment can harbour microorganisms and facilitate microbe contamination and spread. Curtains, carpets, and other soft furnishings can harbour bacterial pathogens if used in the clinical environment.
