Update to Appendix 16 - Selection of Personal Protective Equipment (PPE) by health and care workers (HCWs) during the provision of care

26 Jun 2023

Appendix 16 has been updated to reflect changes within the NIPCM and CH IPCM.

The changes made are: 

  • updates related to DL (2023) 11 – step-down of Scottish Government’s extended use of face mask guidance
  • removal of where to don and doff PPE column
  • footnotes included for additional clarity.

Please note this is an interim update pending the completion of the TBPs literature review later in the year.
