Cleaning and Ward assistants in ICUs

[Beth Bint]

Good Afternoon

We are interested in identifying the number of staff assigned within an ICU for cleaning.

Would you be able to provide the following information:

Number of ICU beds:

Number of cleaners rostered each shift- AM: PM: Night:

Number of ward assistants or PSAs each shift – AM: PM: Night

Do your cleaners clean beds?

Do your ward assistants or PSAs have a cleaning role? If yes please describe briefly:

What cleaning are nurses required to undertake?

If a room requires a “terminal clean”, is this performed by unit staff, or is there a designated team within the facility?

Any assistance with this information would be very much appreciated.

Thank you
Beth
