Testimonials
"As a GP surgery we found the new standards of healthcare cleanliness document slightly overwhelming to start with. The document was very much based on secondary care settings. With the help of the IPC team, we were able to implement the guidance seamlessly into our setting. Lisa and Michelle attended the surgery for an assurance visit at the beginning of the year, they provided invaluable support in a warm and friendly manner. We have had many queries along the way and the team have responded quickly and with sound, evidence-based information. We are very lucky to have them." Highbridge Medical Centre
