nfection prevention and control is a fundamental part of healthcare design and needs to be consid- I ered at the earliest stage in any planning process, and certainly well before construction plans and room layouts are drawn. This is not only true for new builds, but also for any change of use, with or without physical alterations to the environment. If patients are involved either directly or indirectly there are almost certainly infection control implications.

Key Words: planning • infection • building
