With flu season getting underway, care homes all over the country are making efforts to manage and prevent the spread of infection while protecting their residents, staff and visitors. This year, there’s also the challenge of meeting the CQC’s new Regulation 9A, which asks care homes to facilitate safe visits even during outbreaks.
JLA’s HEPA-14 air filtration units, room sanitisers and OTEX ozone laundry disinfection system offer three powerful levels of protection and are already helping care home managers meet these new guidelines.
But after 50 years in the sector, we know gold-standard infection control demands more than technology. And that’s why we’re here with the latest guidance on compliance and beyond.
Unpacking CQC Regulation 9A
To help you get up to speed on CQC Regulation 9A join Helen Buchan, JLA’s infection control expert, for a free webinar on 12th November 2024.
In the session, Helen will explain what CQC Regulation 9A means for your care home, offer practical tips on managing visits during infection outbreaks, and share guidance around methods that can actively reduce cases of influenza, colds and Covid-19.
It’s free to join, too!
