Details
This toolkit provides support to teams in PHE investigating incidents where an infection control breach or failure has led to potential risk of bloodborne virus (BBV) transmission.
The toolkit is designed to supplement incident response, which should primarily be investigated using standard procedures, and any internal reporting or escalation of the incident should follow existing arrangements, for example, the National Incident and Emergency Response Plan (NIERP).
