ACIPC Media release: Children in Detention

[Sue Greig]

Dear all,

I stress these are my personal opinions and do not represent anyone else
and as such I am communicating from my personal email as this does not
relate to a work issue.

I read with interest the discussion relating to this media release and I
too express my surprise at its release however I was saddened to see how
quickly discussion turned to attack and this is damaging in any group. As
the moderator advised, do this off line.

I have no problem with the President or the Executive Council expressing
their opinions in relation to any matter, infection prevention or not,
however I do believe this should be done in context and not represent the
views of the whole College membership unless these are truly the views of
the majority of the membership.

I think this has opened an issue that the College needs to review and
determine how it is going to respond in future to contentious issues where
members feel strongly.

I look forward to seeing the maturation and development of our College and
hope that the membership continue to play an active, united role in this
whilst having good discussion on opinions.

Without Prejudice

Dear Members

I was saddened to read the recent Press Release regarding the College’s position on Children In Detention. In my 25 plus years as a member and once President of AICA and as a 7 year board member and 2010 APIC President alignment of a professional body with any non-infection prevention political issue appears unprecedented.

Regardless of where members stand personally on this contentious issue it is arrogant and perhaps even incorrect for the President to assume unilateral support of his position by all members.

Further, whilst the AMA acts as the primary industrial relations agency for medical practitioners and as such rightly has an opinion on this issue the College purpose as stated in its Constitution makes no mention of political commentary as a goal.

Informally, I have canvassed views from at least two other senior College members who are offended by the College’s action. I would request that in future the Executive and College leadership do not assume members’ positions on non infection prevention matters and instead focus solely on working within the scope of the Constitution representing members well on infection prevention matters.
