What Are Touchpoints?
Touchpoints are surfaces that we frequently touch and therefore have a much higher risk of spreading germs, bacteria and viruses. Keeping your touchpoints clean is one of the most important ways that you can keep your organisation, team, patients, residents and family members safe from cross-contamination.
