This week we marked National Safeguarding Week at Practice Plus Group Gillingham, focusing on this year’s theme of Prevention – acting before abuse occurs.
We took time to refresh our understanding of how we can work together to reduce harm, recognise concerns early and ensure the right processes are in place to respond effectively.
Our team joined drop-in sessions, discussed ways to strengthen safeguarding practice and wore green to show our support.
Safeguarding is everyone’s responsibility, and this week was a valuable reminder of the role we all play in keeping people safe.

This week marks International Infection Prevention and Control Week and this year’s theme encourages us all to “Stand UPPP for Infection Prevention”, highlighting four key pillars:
- Unite
- Protect
- Prevent
- Prevail
Each day this week, our site has focused on one pillar and today’s focus is Protect.
In healthcare, protection starts with the basics. Consistently practising hand hygiene, using personal protective equipment (PPE) correctly, and supporting each other to maintain the highest standards of infection control.
Another vital way we protect one another is through annual flu vaccinations. Today’s drop-in flu clinic saw an excellent turnout — with our General Manager Deborah Anderson leading by example at the front of the queue. A great demonstration of leadership in action and commitment to keeping colleagues and patients safe.
