Infection Control Services

Our mission is to enable hospitals to deliver better care, faster.

Our hospital infection prevention services helps to achieve this by, Removing the infection risk from building services and the built environment through the use of our compliant, rapid, project-based building management services.

Vectors of Transmission

Tackling Infection Control

Inivos have targeted three main vectors of transmission within the healthcare environment that can contribute to an increase in infection, causing problems for patients, staff and visitors. Our infection control services target each vector to proactively and reactively reduce and eliminate the spread of hospital acquired infections (HAI's).

Air

Air quality control is very critical in any hospital setting because the air can be a source of a variety of different disease-causing pathogens, and if not effectively filtered, may possess a risk on the lives of the patients, staff and visitors.

Water

We all know that water is the source of life, but it is not without its risks and is a common vector for the transmission of dangerous pathogens. Safe water is essential to our health and one way to achieve this is by sanitising the environments in which it is used.

Surface

Surfaces provide a reservoir for many bacteria and harmful pathogens where they can survive for prolonged periods of time. When contaminated, surfaces enable the transmission of these pathogens through touch, presenting a risk of infection.

How we work

Every infection need is different. That is why we offer a choice of solutions that provide both a reactive and proactive option to reduce and maintain infection control.

Our specialists will ascertain your needs and develop a contracted solution to meet your unique, specific everyday infection needs with dedicated supervision, preferential service support and reporting.

Our Infection Control Approach

The services we’re offering are not new in themselves, but our infection prevention and control approach is.

We deeply consider and understand the infection risks associated with healthcare buildings, services and environments, and have developed a range of services to meet these infection risks. In doing so, we’ve been careful to ensure that we meet all the requirements of the relevant engineering guidance within the HTM’s and the HBN’s.

Testing, Validating & Sampling

To treat an infection outbreak we first need to understand the root cause of the infection. The only way to accurately do this, is to sample, test and report on a range of sources. We have partnered with a UKAS accredited testing laboratory to enable us to provide you with an informed and data backed project plan to eradicate your infection outbreaks.

The laboratory will report their findings back to us and from there, we will put together a detailed project plan for your hospital. The report will be included in the plan, providing full transparency throughout the project.
