This site has been developed by the NIAS IPC team to provide infection prevention & control (IPC) best practice advice and provide up-to-date information on the latest Microorganisms that staff within NIAS may need to be aware of.
The resource is designed to support staff by providing advice regarding the background of the Microorganism, PPE requirements, Environmental/ Vehicle cleanliness and whether there is follow up/ prophylaxis required for staff.
There is also access to additional IPC resources which staff may find helpful.
The IPC team can continue to be contacted within working hours for further IPC advice and support.
