A new literature review has been produced replacing the 2015 'Management of patient care equipment' and 'Environmental decontamination and terminal cleaning' literature reviews.

A new recommendation on the use of HPV is now included as well as additional guidance on when cleaning solutions should be changed.

This literature review can be found at http://www.nipcm.hps.scot.nhs.uk/resources/literature-reviews/transmission-based-precautions-literature-reviews/
