Surveillance of Catheter Associated Urinary Tract Infection Data

The system collects data on how many urinary catheters are used and how many catheter associated urinary tract infections develop in Scottish hospitals. The main purpose is to describe trends in infection rates, the use of catheters and to assist with reduction in infection and catheter use.

Further information on data confidentiality can be found on our Information Governance page or can be obtained by contacting the HPS Information Security and Data Protection Officer (Telephone 0141 300 1100).
