Pocket Book
The resource was specifically developed to allow Ambulance staff working in vehicles to access the resource via a tablet devise. The resource presents as an interactive pdf and allows staff to choose information when presented with common infection risks and reveals the "must do" SICP guidance that should be followed to minimise the risk of spreading infection to themselves, other staff and the person receiving care. It also highlights key advice on factors "to consider" as part of the SICPs and identifies other factors that keep staff and those being cared for safe.
The resource is free to download and/or print from the link below:
