Good Morning All,

I have a question relating to Basic Infection Prevention and Control Orientation e-learning packages, suitable for both Clinical and Non-Clinical HCWs.

Many years ago there used to be a wonderful ACSQH basic IPC e-learning package/module available for use in orientation/training for all levels of HCWs. I note now though, the only ACSQH IPC education I can locate appears to be the ACSQH 10 IPC modules. These modules are of course extremely comprehensive and a very valuable suite of IPC training modules and I believe that these IPC modules are particularly good for IPC Link nurses/novice IPC staff, however are quite a commitment for all HCWs to undertake. I have also been advised when reviewing this issue, that of course the ACIPC Foundations course is available, but again I do not feel these courses are suitable to be undertaken by all HCWs.

I feel that some brief (maybe 45 mins – 60mins) standardised basic IPC education/orientation e-learning, that could fill the void between the many varied locally produced PowerPoints/e-learning packages currently in use and the Commissions’ 10 e-learning modules, would be beneficial to all. Particularly if we can communicate standardised IPC messages to all Australian HCWs, as per those outlined in the NHMRC IPC guidelines and assist in enforcing appropriate IPC practices.

I would imagine it would not take much to revise / review the old package and make it widely available again?? Is anyone aware that any work in this area is currently underway, or of other useful basic IPC e-learning packages?

Kind Regards
Sharon

Hello Sharon, the Tasmanian Infection Prevention and Control Unit (TIPCU) have produced a series of eLearning infection prevention and control videos that you may like to use for orientation. There are 10 in the series and cover a wide range of subjects. Each video runs for between 5 and 7 minutes so they are short and sharp. You can access them here: https://www.dhhs.tas.gov.au/publichealth/tasmanian_infection_prevention_and_control_unit/healthcare_worker_education/healthcare_worker_education_videos

And we also have PPE videos which illustrate how to put on and take off PPE when using Standard, Contact, Droplet and Airborne Precautions. The videos can be found here https://www.dhhs.tas.gov.au/publichealth/tasmanian_infection_prevention_and_control_unit/healthcare_worker_education/proper_use_of_personal_protective_equipment

I hope you find these useful.

HI Sharon

I made enquiries at the ACSQH in November about the orientation module that was linked on the HHA website.
The response from the ACSQH Advice Centre, these were to be revised and become available in 2020, however no timeline as to when.

Hi Denise

Thank you for sending the copy of your certificate – that was very helpful. My colleague from the HAI team advised that the module your are looking for is currently not available as it is being updated. I was advised that it will be available again next year – no timeline yet – but will be available through the NHHI training portal.

Kind regards
