This NHS England Workforce, Training and Education video explains everyday infection prevention for care home workers and health professionals. It highlights that people living in care homes are more vulnerable to infection and describes prevention as shared actions: clean hands, prompt response to illness, correct use of personal protective equipment, clean equipment and vaccination.

The hand hygiene section lists five key moments: before providing care, immediately after providing care, after contact with body fluids, after touching the person's surroundings, and as soon as gloves are removed. It recommends supporting residents to clean their own hands, especially before food and after toileting, and using soap and water when there is diarrhoea, vomiting, flu, visible dirt or similar risk. It also advises bare-below-the-elbows practice, short clean nails, avoiding nail polish, false nails and stoned rings, and covering cuts with waterproof dressings.

When someone is unwell with an infectious illness the video advises extra precautions: keep the person in their own room away from others, wear aprons and gloves, handle soiled linen and clothing safely, wash hands after removing PPE and before leaving the room, clean equipment after every use, and deep clean the person's room and bathroom. It also covers outbreak escalation, flu vaccination and resident vaccination, and catheter care steps such as keeping the bag below bladder level, off the floor and not overfilled.
