Infection Prevention & Interior Finishes: Flooring Considerations
In our Infection Control CPD, we look at the threat antimicrobial resistance poses and how this is leading to an increase in healthcare associated infections. We detail high versus low risk areas, allowing you to determine what floor finish should be specified. We also look at antimicrobial test methods, and discuss how the misuse of antibiotics and biocides can lead to Antimicrobial Resistance – a major public health threat.
