Infection control in the home

What is it?

The unique nature of the home as a setting for care provides some special challenges for the medical team in preventing the transmission of infection. In the home, the environment is controlled by the client, and their caregivers.


It is our responsibility to ensure that clients and carers understand the rationale for employing the principles of infection control. Infection control in the home setting is based on the principles of hygiene, cleanliness and sterility.


Our Infection control team can help you by providing clients, carers and health care workers with advice, education and support and providing a confidential and non-judgmental service.

Medic Angels assist you and your family deal with the many issues that arise at times of serious illness.
