Five infection-control habits for dialysis units

Small, repeatable habits — from station cleaning to catheter care kits — reduce risk across every shift.

Why consistency matters

Dialysis units see frequent access procedures and shared equipment, so consistency matters more than complexity.

Station and kit habits

Clean and disinfect each station between patients, use standardised procedure kits so setup is identical every time, and keep hand hygiene supplies within reach.

Audit and adjust

Audit monthly, share results with the team and adjust supplies when the audit shows a gap.
