Nurses are to be given checklist cards for routine tasks to help prevent the spread of hospital-acquired infections, it has been revealed.
Nursing Standard magazine says there will be step-by-step guides for procedures such as inserting catheters, where there is a risk of infection.
They are part of an infection control package for NHS trusts in England.
The Royal College of Nursing welcomed the cards as "reminders" of what staff should be doing.
