Keeping The Hospital Clean
Poole Hospital NHS Foundation Trust continually strives to achieve the highest consistent standards of cleanliness, ensuring a clean, safe environment for patients, visitors and staff.
The wards and patient rooms at Poole Hospital are cleaned on a daily basis. There is a system of routine cleaning, as well as enhanced cleaning procedures if there are concerns about particular infections being present.
The Trust uses a sophisticated microfibre cloth and mop cleaning system, which is designed to be used as a dry cloth or mop and is very effective at removing dust and dirt from surfaces.
There are times when liquid disinfectants are also used but please be assured that if a cleaner appears to be merely wiping down an area with a dry cloth, the area is still being cleaned properly.
If you have any concerns about the cleanliness of the hospital, either as a visitor or patient, please do not hesitate to bring it to the attention of the ward staff. Alternatively, you can write to the Infection Control staff at:
