ABSTRACT
On 21 September 2021, the Healthcare Associated Infection (HAI) annual report 2020 was published by Antimicrobial Resistance and Healthcare Associated Infection (ARHAI) Scotland. The report reflects the work undertaken on healthcare associated infection (HCAI) prevention and reducing antimicrobial resistance (AMR) during 2020. Data are provided for common HCAIs, which are an important cause of severe illness, death, and higher treatment costs. This year the report also includes analysis of hospital onset COVID-19 and its impact on other Scottish national surveillance systems. In 2020, the global pandemic brought new problems, and NHS National Services Scotland's ARHAI Scotland was a key part of the national COVID-19 response to the pandemic. This report shows how far ARHAI Scotland has come in helping to reduce HCAIs in NHS Scotland. It also gives data to help local and national efforts to prevent HCAIs.
