Well done on publishing the piece, where the work undertaken was one part of informing the new Scottish National Infection Prevention and Control Manual, chapter 2 transmission based precautions. Importantly I think, many like Wales, will want to further read the all of the background evidence as well as the useful "what's changed" and FAQs documents https://www.nipcm.hps.scot.nhs.uk/chapter-2-transmission-based-precautions-tbps/ Importantly, I have been working with Scotland ARHAI to interrogate how to effectively implement the recommendations in the guidance, using a proven approach from the science and applied to infection prevention. It would be great to further discussion the implementation barriers to such guidance - often this is the first step in mapping out effective implementation alongside the right stakeholders to do it.
