INTERACT Study (Infection Prevention and Surveillance in the Care of the Australasian Cancer and Transplant population)
On behalf of the INTERACT study team (led by Dr Priya Garg, headed by Professor Monica Slavin, Professor Lisa Hall and A/Professor Leon Worth) at the Peter MacCallum Cancer Centre and National Centre for Infections in Cancer, you are invited to participate in an Australia/ New Zealand healthcare worker survey on infection prevention and surveillance practice in the Australasian cancer and transplant population.
This survey seeks input from all adult infectious diseases/ microbiology and or infection prevention healthcare professionals (physicians/ registrars/ nurses/ allied health) working with acutely unwell adult cancer/ transplant patients in Australasia. You do not need to be part of a formal infection prevention service to respond, multiple respondents from the same facility may participate and participants are not required to input their name or that of their facility.
The INTERACT study aims to broadly establish knowledge as well as current clinical practice and resourcing in infection prevention and control and surveillance for opportunistic and healthcare associated infection in the care of acutely unwell adult cancer and transplant patients hospitalised in Australasian healthcare facilities.
Results from this study will support focussed quality improvement projects to help reduce the incidence of preventable infection for the Australasian cancer/transplant population.
The INTERACT study will run from September to October 2024.
