Welcome

As part of its ongoing commitment to prevent hospital infection, I would like to welcome you on behalf of Portsmouth NHS Trust to the online pages for our ‘Stop the Bugs’ campaign.

As a result of extensive media coverage and debate on the subject, hospital infection is quite rightly at the very top of every hospital’s agenda and at the forefront of both our patients’ and their loved ones’ minds.

We hope that you find this website a useful resource that gives insight into the issue of hospital infection, information on how to guard against it and the latest news from our dedicated ‘Infection Prevention Team’.

Thank you for taking the time to visit, explore and learn from this site how we can all work together to prevent hospital infection.

Ursula Ward Chief Executive
