Hand Hygiene Auditor training

[SWSLHD-CommunityHealthInfectionControl]

Hi all I would appreciate your advice on the following;

I have been a GSA since 2009, I have completed the annual auditor validation, but find it extremely difficult to complete the 100 moments annually. This is because of
I work in a community setting. To complete these requirements, I would need to attend a several of geographically distant clinics and home visits. This would likely mean an entire morning on several occasions. As much as this is a great concept it is also time consuming to arrange and to put into practice , particularly when fulfilling a dual role of staff health.

As an Infection Control ICP, I do not need to audit myself, but I do need to monitor compliance and provide support to auditors. Without completing the 100 moments, I am not permitted to access HHA training materials.

So my question how do other ICP’s, particularly those not in a hospital setting, meet this requirement of completing 100 moments on an annual basis?

Kind Regards,
