Update to Aprons and Gowns literature review.

27 Oct 2025

The Aprons and Gowns Literature review has been updated.

Following this there have been some changes to layout within chapters 1 and 2 of the NIPCM and some changes to wording within the CHIPCM.

Notably, the PPE for visitors has been aligned to SICPs and TBPs.

There has been clarity added to Appendix 6 to highlight the need to perform hand hygiene following removal of an apron or gown prior to removing any face or eye protection or mask.
