Infection Control is becoming increasingly important in recent times as there has been a rise in the number of Hospital-Acquired Infections (HAI). Recently, the World Health Organization estimated that 7% of all patients admitted into healthcare facilities will acquire at least 1 HAI. The interviewer at the NHS will want to ensure you're familiar with infection control practices and may test your knowledge by asking you to give specific examples. Consider topics like placement and infection assessments, hand hygiene, safe management and care of environment, safe management of lines or equipment, cough and respiratory hygiene, or PPE usage.
