The project is a collaboration between the UK Health Security Agency (UKHSA, formerly PHE), the NHS and the University of Bristol.

What is the purpose of the PPI group?

We want this project to benefit people living and working in care homes, for example by designing samplers that residents like the look of, or tools to help staff keep track of infections in the home.
