The inaugural chapters were developed using an England-wide consensus group consisting of infection prevention and control experts. These chapters are now subject wider consultation with the consensus group and regional infection prevention leads in England.

While a specific date has not yet been confirmed, we anticipate the manual will be published in March 2022.
