Since it was first published in the 1990s, Infection Control in Clinical Practice has become the primary resource for all clinicians needing to prevent and control healthcare associated infections.

This comprehensive guide covers the underpinning principles of microbiology, infection, immunology and epidemiology, then shows how to apply these principles for evidence-based infection prevention and control (IPC) advice and guidance in the clinic. The book has been fully updated in its fourth edition to incorporate the latest research on new and emerging issues.

The clear and concise explanations in this book make it suitable for all clinicians needing to apply IPC principles in their work, including nursing and medical staff, allied health professionals, IPC practitioners and clinical scientists.
    • Comprehensive guide to key principles – all clearly linked to clinical practice
    • Clearly written and accessible for nurses, allied health professionals and infection control specialists
    • Relevant to both hospital and community settings
    • Heavily referenced with the latest research – an ideal resource for evidence-based practice
    • Covers the science underpinning IPC, including microbiology, antimicrobial resistance, immunology and epidemiology
    • Includes a wide range of important pathogens
    • Presents the fundamental components of IPC programmes, including risk management, surveillance, outbreak management, motivating behaviour change, and quality improvement

Non-textual content is also linked from within this logical reading order. (Purely decorative non-text content can be ignored).
      • The language of the text has been specified (e.g., via the HTML or XML lang attribute) to optimise text-to-speech (and other alternative renderings), both at the whole document level and, where appropriate, for individual words, phrases or passages in a different language.
