Why is Auditing your Equipment Important?
Healthcare associated infections (HCAI) cost the NHS an estimated £1 billion a year; if a patient contracts a HCAI they will cost the NHS three times more to treat than an uninfected patient.
It is estimated that with good practice and careful hygiene around 15% to 30% of cases where a patient contracts a HCAI could be avoided.
