The Department of Health has committed to issuing guidance that will require NHS trusts to:

		Ensure proper data collection and surveillance of needlestick injuries
		Identify the need for more or better training of staff
		Identify where the introduction of safety technology could reduce risks to healthcare workers

The full guidance will be available here once it is available.

If you would like to be notified by email when the guidance is available then please send your details to guidance@saferneedlesnow.net.
