We are pleased to publish the report of research on Hygiene that Ealing LINk participants had undertaken between August and November 2009.

We were commissioned by the Care Quality Commission(CQC) to undertake this research on their behalf. It has proved to be a great learning experience for everyone involved:

• The LINk itself was able to gain a real understanding into the process and the time that needs to be allocated to produce good community research
• The participants learnt new skills which will hold them in good stead for future LINk work
• It has led to us working much more closely with our local health partners on hygiene and infection control work

We would like to at this time give thanks to everyone involved, the CQC for giving us this opportunity, the LINk host team for all the work in supporting the participants, Diane our excellent freelance facilitator, the organisations and groups who supported the project, the participants for their time and dedication to the project and lastly all the members of the public who took the time to complete questionnaires.
