  1. Development of AT modules Procedures • The principles of Aseptic Technique • Insertion of peripheral vascular catheter • Taking a blood culture sample • Inserting an indwelling urinary catheter • Applying aseptic technique when carrying out wound care • Taking a specimen for microbiological examination

  2. ImplementationStep 1 Step 1 • Roadshows • All boards Step 2 • Funding then made available to all boards for individual projects

  3. GJNH • Model ward approach Approach used in • SSKIN care bundles development • Safety cross implementation • 1000livesplus (NHS Wales)

  6. Model ward priorities Procedures • The principles of Aseptic Technique • Insertion of peripheral vascular catheter • Taking a blood culture sample • Inserting an indwelling urinary catheter • Applying aseptic technique when carrying out wound care • Taking a specimen for microbiological examination Additionally • Blood culture training was carried out

  7. Expressed as percentages

  8. Results • Practice observed pre and post education • Demonstrable raised awareness of AT • Majority of staff carrying out procedures in line with steps in AT modules

  9. Conclusion • Aim of the project was achieved using the model ward approach: all staff applying the same approach to AT • Other measures led to increased uptake of modules

  10. How to access the modules
