Infection Prevention Control. Supply of beds was affected by Norovirus at Chelsea and Westminster Hospital during May 2018; a total of 10 patients, 23 staff and 3 visitors/relatives were symptomatic with diarrhoea and vomiting. Twelve outbreak meetings were convened during the outbreak which lasted from 2nd to the 24th May. The IPC team visited the xxxx at least once a day to ensure that the recommended control measures were being followed. The team provided support, advice and feedback where practice needed to be improved, and education as required. There was a delay in identifying that there was an outbreak on the xxxx and therefore an ‘outbreak decision tree’ was developed by the IPC team which will help staff to identify outbreak situations sooner. This document will be available on the trust intranet. No further outbreaks were reported due to D&V and Xxxxxxxxx in 2018/19.
