🎙 In this episode of The Halfway Point podcast, Ben is joined by Locum PM’s own and experienced IPC Nurse expert Steph Bouckley to explore why effective Infection Prevention Control in general practice is never a one-person job.

Bringing together both the operational and clinical perspectives, Ben and Steph discuss why Practice Managers and IPC leads must work together to create safe, compliant, and effective systems that protect both patients and staff.

The conversation explores the realities of IPC in modern general practice, common challenges teams face, practical ways to embed good IPC habits, and why culture, communication, and shared responsibility matter just as much as policies and audits.

Whether you’re a Practice Manager, IPC lead, nurse, deputy manager, or anyone involved in keeping your practice safe and compliant, this episode is packed with practical insights you can take back to your team.

🎧 Listen now and discover why IPC really does take a team.
