Infection Control - Hand Wash

Hinchingbrooke's Infection Control Team works to ensure that all steps are taken to minimise the spread of infection, advises on appropriate treatment regimes, and reassures patients.

The team is made up of a consultant microbiologist and specialist infection control nurses.

Concerned about infections?

  • If you are a patient at our hospital, or a relative of one of our patients, and are concerned about an infection issue we recommend you speak to the nurse in charge of the ward or department, who will then liaise with the infection control staff. Should you have a concern please raise it immediately with the ward staff.
  • If you have concerns, please try to give us as much information as possible so we can address them.
  • The Infection Control Team spends a great deal of their time on our wards working with clinical teams and patients. As a result, it is not possible for them to see people in person unless appointments are arranged in advance. We would also like to stress that the team does not meet sales reps who call unannounced.
