Background: Despite many strategies employed to improve hand hygiene, compliance remains low at around 50%. Two reasons have been identified for this. First, implementation strategies are rarely tailored according to assessed barriers and levers to best practice. Secondly there is a lack of explicit theoretical basis for the assessment of these barriers and levers to…

One in three UK inpatients at any one time has at least one PVC in situ according to the Scottish National Prevalence survey. Method: A narrative review of studies describing…
Vascular access is an important part of many patient care management plans but has some unwanted risks. Previous work published by Moureau et al. (2012) inspired a working group led by the UK Infection Prevention Society (IPS) to produce a vessel health and preservation (VHP) framework. This was with the intention of producing a resource…
The potential contribution nurses can make to the management of antimicrobials within an in-patient setting could impact on the development of antimicrobial resistance (AMR) and healthcare associated infections (HCAIs). Current initiatives promoting prudent antimicrobial prescribing and management have generally failed to include nurses, which subsequently limits the extent to which these strategies can improve patient…
