In 2016, Jeremy Hunt proposed plans to halve the number of GNBSIs by 2020 by reducing catheter use and promoting hygiene, particularly hand hygiene. This primarily targets E. coli, which represent 55% of all GNBSIs, due to the bacteria being easily prevented by thoroughly washing hands after using the toilet and before handling food, and by restricting catheter use. In November 2016, the health secretary announced a £45m cash injection that was shared by hospitals to reduce infection rates. Hospitals were asked to reduce E. coli infections by 10% and use antibiotics properly. Hunt wanted to improve transparency by forcing hospitals to display E. coli rates and data on wards. He also wanted hospital staff, patients, and visitors to wash their hands regularly and patients with catheters to be given better care. The most common source of infection is via UTI at 45% of infections, whereas gastrointestinal infections only account for 6% of E. coli infections. E. coli is caught by eating infected food (e.g. raw leafy vegetable, undercooked meat, or raw milk products), touching infected animals, contact with infected people, drinking water from poorly treated water supplies, and swimming in infected water. To avoid catching E. coli it is recommended to thoroughly wash hands regularly, and cook meets thoroughly to a minimum internal temperature of 62.6C and minced meats to a minimum of 70C. The government’s plans to prevent NHS infections also include
Independent Care Quality Commission inspections focusing on infection prevention based on E. coli rates in hospitals and in the community, and taking action against poor performers. The NHS publishing staff hand hygiene indicators Improving training and information sharing so NHS staff can learn from the best in cutting infection rates Appointing a new national infection lead, Dr Ruth May.
Since 2016, there has been a new drive in encouraging development of new antibiotics. The UK is leading the international fight against resistance by bringing in tough new targets to limit the inappropriate use of antibiotics. Therefore, hospitals and GP offices are being discouraged from prescribing antibiotics to people who don’t need them, for example prescribing them to people with viruses. They are also being encouraged to highlight the importance of following the given instructions when taking antibiotics, as not taking the full course can lead to future resistance. There is also research being done on other reasons why antibiotic resistance is becoming so prevalent, such as a review in 2015 on giving animals being raised for food antibiotics. The review found that in the US more than 70% of antibiotics that are medically important for humans are used in animals. This form of antimicrobial usage is likely to rise because of the economic growth, increasing wealth, and food consumption in the emerging world. A considerable amount of antibiotics are used in healthy animals to prevent infection or speed up their growth. This is particularly the case in intensive farming, where animals are kept in confined conditions. Some last resort antibiotics for humans are being used extensively in animals, and there are no replacements currently on the way. Jeremy Hunt said ‘the best way to make sure antibiotics continue to work is by minimising their use, which means we need to start a new war on avoidable hospital infections’.
In September 2017, thousands of nurses, care home staff, and pharmacists were told how to check for signs and symptoms of sepsis, as part of an NHS plan to improve treatment for the condition. The measures included a clear definition of adult sepsis for clinicians, so sepsis is identified and recorded more quickly; educational materials to ensure awareness among all primary care, pharmacists, and healthcare professionals; and targeting care homes, pharmacists, and other areas of the NHS which deal with frail and older people to prevent sepsis. Jeremy Hunt said that the Department of Health wants ‘the NHS to be the safest healthcare system in the world, and our ability to diagnose and treat sepsis effectively is a key litmus test of progress. While the NHS has taken major steps in recent years to improve how it responds to sepsis – actions that have saved nearly 1000 lives – there is still more work to do to protect the many thousands who develop this dangerous condition each year’. Sir Bruce Keogh said ‘since the publication of our first plan in 2015 [NHS England’s Sepsis Action Plan] a lot has been done and this additional set of proposed actions reflects the desire of health professionals to tackle this dangerous condition’. In December 2016, the secretary of state launched a nationwide campaign to help parents spot the signs of sepsis: ‘We need to get far better at spotting it across the NHS. By raising awareness and improving clinical practice we will save lives in the fight against this horrible illness.’ Dr Ron Daniels, chief executive of the UK Sepsis Trust, said: ‘With sepsis claiming over 37,000 lives annually in England, this awareness campaign is a crucial step forward. Clinicians and members of the public can save thousands of lives every year if they just ask: could it be sepsis?’
