Teaching sessions, complementing the poster, were delivered by the infection prevention and control team to each clinical area. <\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title>Findings:<\/jats:title><jats:p> The data showed that the provision of further educational resources and wider support resulted in a 54.5% decrease in the incidence of PVC bacteraemia in 2023\/24 compared with the previous year. An audit undertaken in the fourth quarter of 2023\/24 (January\u2212March) found zero cases of PVC bacteraemia for the first time in 2 years. <\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title>Conclusion:<\/jats:title><jats:p> Dedication and collaborative working are vital for securing the success of quality improvement projects.
