    Dear Michael

    I am leading a research project “Defining and optimal infection control model” which aims to describe infection control programs in Australian public and private hospitals and to establish national recommendations for health services on the required organisational support, staffing and skills.

    This study has three main components

    1. A survey of infection control professionals – regardless of where they work.

    2. A survey of Australian infection control units – more information to come later this year.

    3. Workshop

    These three components will enable use to describe current ICP and hospital infection control unit demographics, roles, resources, governance arrangements and barriers to evidence based practice across Australia. Ultimately, we aim to make recommendations for health services on the required organisational support, staffing, skills and expertise. This is a really quick overview of this project.

    What are we asking people to do?
    So, now we are calling for all ICPs to assist with Phase 1 of the study, by completing an online survey (link below). The survey will take around 5-10 minutes to complete. I am urging all ICPs to complete this survey. This is your chance to be part of this project and contribute to fundamental professional issues. For those working with other infection control colleagues, I ask that you forward this email on and have attached a flyer to promote this further in your units.

    Prizes
    In addition to the anticipated benefits this project will bring, we are also offering a range of prizes including an iPad, statistical software and infection control books. To go into the draw for these prizes, you must complete the survey and enter the draw upon its completion. The earlier people complete the survey, the most chances of winning.

    Please complete the survey now – https://www.surveymonkey.com/s/infectioncontrolprofessionals

    Dear all

    Thank you to those of you who have completed the survey (details below). We have had a good response, but need many more people to complete it.

    If you are an ICP in Australia or New Zealand and have not yet completed the survey, could you please consider doing so.

    If you have completed the survey, could I ask you encourage any ICP colleagues you work with to complete it as well.

    The first prize will be drawn in the next week.

    Many thanks

    Brett
