Add to favourites

The NES Healthcare built environment team in collaboration with ARHAI Scotland have developed an animation on the Infection Prevention and Control (IPC) risks related to the design and construction of domestic water and above ground drainage system.

This animation was developed to support a specific target audience comprising of:

  • Healthcare water system designers
  • Construction teams
  • Water engineers
  • Plumbers/Installers
  • Board estates teams
  • Board construction project teams
  • IPC teams (ICN/ICM/ICD)
Education resources

This exciting animation aims to:

·         improve knowledge of healthcare domestic water and above ground drainage systems

·          recognise the IPC risks associated with a healthcare water and drainage system

·          understand the health impact of the design risks on patients, visitors, staff and the wider community

·         recognise how and why these IPC risks commence during the design phase

 

NES and ARHAI would like to acknowledge and give special thanks to our subject matter experts colleagues from NHS Scotland Assure and NHS Scotland Boards for their support in the development of this animation.
