Creffield Medical Centre understands that the processes of good infection control must be of a consistently high standard, and therefore require regular review, reflection and assessment to ensure they are both comprehensive and fit-for-purpose. The Practice works in conjunction with our local Health Protection Team (Essex HPT) under the umbrella of the Health Protection Agency (HPA) to ensure effective communication and co-ordination of systems and processes to ensure that where infection can occur, there are policies, protocols and systems in-place to support prevention and control transmission.​
