Infection Prevention & Control
We know that coming into hospital can be an anxious time for people for lots of reasons, including concerns about infection and the so-called ‘super-bugs’ such as MRSA and Clostridium difficile.
We would like to assure you that at Poole Hospital we take the prevention and control of infection very seriously, and all our staff receive training in infection prevention and control when they first join the Trust. This training is updated regularly.
Preventing infection requires everyone to work together, and that includes the visitors and patients who come to the hospital, we all have a role to play.
