This policy details the action required by all individuals directly employed by the Trust, contract staff, students, volunteers, locums and bank/agency staff, service users, carers and general public, to minimise the risk of infection, to service users, staff and visitors.

The benefits and contribution that assistance dogs, therapy and pet animals offer in enhancing the quality of life and care experience is well documented, especially in mental health. In certain circumstances, animal visits to ward and clinical areas may be allowed if a thorough risk assessment has been undertaken and any identified risks are managed appropriately, as such visits have been shown to have numerous psychological and physical benefits which may outweigh the infection control issues.
