Hi all
We are reviewing our management of our Hydrotherapy Pools and wondering if there is any IPC expert guidance in this area.
Would welcome any risk assessments from any of our colleagues.
Cheers

Hello Kirsty
Not sure if this is what you were after but we undertook a project several years ago which was led by our Public health environmental team, our LHD pool management (allied health) our LHD engineer/maintenance and environmental cleaning management & IPaC to workshop/brain storm to undertake a review and then develop a risk based action plan for all our of facility hydro pools …… I believe it has all been actioned & we likely need to go again……………
Hope this useful ???
Cheers

Hi Kirsty,
There are the Australian Physiotherapy Association Australian guidelines for aquatic physiotherapists working in and/or managing hydrotherapy pools (which provides some infection control guidance). Found here: https://australian.physio/sites/default/files/tools/Aquatic_Physiotherapy_Guidelines.pdf
I would also contact your local public health unit or council to see if there are specific state regulations for the management of such facilities as well.

Thanks Donna
That’s great, I was looking for anything around risk assessments you may use during COVID.
