Introduction
In 2011, the Scottish Government asked Health Protection Scotland (HPS) to deliver evidence based recommendations within 1 year to update national infection control (IC) care bundles. Aimed to support frontline staff to reduce healthcare associated infection (HAI) these featured bundles to prevent bloodstream infections associated with surgery and intravascular devices. NHSScotland has used national evidence based bundles since 2008. The results of the recent National HAI Prevalence Study[1] indicates a temporally associated reduction in HAI with the implementation of national HAI interventions, including care bundles.
