    The Preventing infection in social care settings app was developed in partnership between the Scottish Social Services Council (SSSC), NHS Education for Scotland (NES) and the Digital Health & Care Innovation Centre (DHI).

    Developed specifically for the social care workforce, the app builds on existing knowledge and good practice and enables workers to have national guidance at their fingertips when they need it.
