We are delighted to announce that Tees Valley Hospital have achieved the Silver accreditation for ANTT® Patient Protection Accreditation Programme for Healthcare Providers.
ANTT is supported by evidence and highlights the key components involved in maintaining asepsis and aims to standardise practice.
The 4 main principles of ANTT:
- Always wash hands effectively;
- Never contaminate key parts;
- Touch non-key parts with confidence;
- Take appropriate infective precautions.
The criteria for the award included having 30% percent of staff competency assessed and 50 audits completed in a 12 months period.
A huge thanks to Emily, Sharon and Naomi for all of their hard work and commitments and the ANTT® assessor team for this achievement.
We are now working toward the gold award.
