A deep cleaning programme incorporating UV-C decontamination reduces C.diff significantly
Background
North West Anglia Trust focussed on implementing new IPC strategies to reduce rates of Clostridium difficile, one of the main Hospital Acquired Infections (HAI) in the UK.
Method
A deep clean programme using Ultra-V disinfection robot technology by Inivos was implemented from April 2015 and C.diff cases were compared before and after.
Result
Using Ultra-V as part of the deep clean programme, rates of C.diff in 2016 fell to their lowest levels since reports dating back to 2009.
