Hi all,
I’m thrilled to see all the Infection Control positions coming up in our facilities.
I wondered though, if someone could please clarify why all of the positions require a nursing qualification?
If suitable and relevant experience and qualifications can be demonstrated, is it critical that the Infection Prevention and Control practitioner needs to be a nurse, especially if they are working across multidisciplinary teams?
Thanks

That is a really great question and one I would be interested to see people’s thoughts.
I am not employed as an “ICP”, but I am working in a role that is within the same space, overseeing implementation of AS4187 requirements across my organisation. I am not a nurse, but I am a credentialled ICP via ACIPC.
I wonder how many other credentialled members of ACIPC are not nurses like me?P.S. I have a Masters in Cardiothoracic Physiotherapy
Kind regards

Thank you Kate!
I am in the same boat. I am not a nurse but I am credentialed and in the final stages of completing post grad IPC quals to attain imminent Advanced Credentialing.
In my role I am responsible for the oversight of all IPC professional guidance activities, education and resource development for ADA NSW. While I am not a clinician, I am completely across the regulatory frameworks and IPC systems that health facilities – particularly oral health – need to work within and how this relates to IPC policy decisions that are aligned to State and National guidelines.
My Masters is in Health Service Management. In my view, governance, leadership and oversight of IPC programmes – or a whole-of-organisation approach – plays a huge role to determine the success of specific IPC activity outcomes. We’ve all seen the importance of governance and oversight within the hotel quarantine frameworks and how this impacts the effectiveness of specific IPC activities.
This is what I love about IPC – how the diversity of skills, experience and qualifications that we all have as a collective absolutely contribute to safer care. I am very proud to be able to do my bit in this space.

Hi IP colleagues,
I am in total agreement that it does not require a nurse to be an IP.
I came from California where we have IPs who are clinical lab scientists, physios, public health degrees, and I trained up a statistician who went on to do a masters degree in epidemiology.
Opening the horizons to others with a more diverse background will grow the IP profession.
During the outbreaks last year we relied heavily on our allied health colleagues who were fantastic support for driving IP processes.
I was extremely disappointed that the recent push for IPC leads required a nursing background.
How can we push for a change?Sarah
