   IPC in Action July 2026

   In this episode of the IPC in Action podcast, Jen and Fran discuss the importance of good invasive device care in protecting patient safety and wellbeing. They highlight the need to regularly review whether devices are still required, follow infection prevention and control (IPC) best practice, and remove devices as soon as they are no longer needed. The podcast emphasises that effective device care reduces the risk of infection, improves patient outcomes, and supports the delivery of safe, high-quality, person-centred care. Hosted on Acast.
