Guidance on meeting regulation 12
The best way that NHS trusts can ensure that they meet the regulation is to follow the Government’s Code of Practice on infection prevention and control. We have developed guidance to help trusts understand our inspection process.
The Code of Practice
NHS trusts should use the revised Code of Practice from April 2010 to ensure compliance with the regulation. For a copy of the Code of Practice on cleanliness and infection control, visit the Department of Health's website (opens in a new window).
