Healthcare Associated Infection (HAI)

Patient safety is at the heart of everything we do in NHS Borders and we continually review and improve the systems and processes we have in place to ensure our wards and departments achieve our aim of being the safest in Scotland.

In some instances, Infection Prevention & Control is referred to as Healthcare Associated Infection (HAI).  The Healthcare Environment Inspectorate (HEI) conducts Inspections to reduce the risk on HAI to patients.
