IPC Week
13 – 19 October 2024
IPC Week is celebrated each October and aims to shine a light on infection prevention and control, and the crucial role IPC professionals play in keeping the public safe and healthy.
This year’s theme is ‘Moving the Needle on Infection Prevention,’ and the Association for Professionals in Infection Control and Epidemiology (APIC) has outlined five areas of focus:
- Professional development
- Healthcare worker safety
- Patient safety
- Public health preparedness
- IPC in al settings
ACIPC has some great resources to help you and your team celebrate IPC Week, including:
- IPC Week posters (A3 and A4 sizes) for you to print out and display
- A fun IPC themed wordfind to challenge your IPC knowledge
- Email signature banners to download and use
- A ‘Wordle a Day’ with an IPC theme
We’ll be running a competition, with the prize a copy of Healthcare-Associated Infections in Australia.
