Health Protection

The Health Protection team seeks to prevent or reduce the harm caused by infections and minimise the health impact from environmental hazards such as chemical and radiation. We support the Director of Public Health in their role to protect the people of Dudley.

After clean water, vaccination is the most effective public health intervention in the world for saving lives and promoting good health. Vaccines protect us, our children and loved ones from serious and potentially fatal diseases. Visit the Immunisations page for more information.

Visit the Preventing the spread of infections page to find out about the more common infections.

Further information can be found in the Sepsis page.

Community care settings can find Infection control advice in this page.

Schools and other childcare settings can find Infection control advice in this page.
