Hi all,
How often does your IPC Committee meet? Is that frequency appropriate to meet governance needs?
Do you have working groups or subcommittees? If so, for what?
Any other IPC governance suggestions / initiatives that might be helpful?
Always looking to improve!
Thanks

Hello and a blessed day Cathi
In our health service, our Infection Control Committee conducts a meeting every 2 months. We have sub committees such as Aseptic Technique Group and Fit Testers group.
Hope this helps!

Hi Cathi
Our main Infection Control Committee, which includes our VMOs (surgeons, intensivists microbiologists, ID physicians), meets every two months, and on the alternate month, we have a non-clinical meeting which looks at water results, cleaning, sterilisation and food services, which reports by exception to the main committee.
We also have a sub committee for AMS. Fit testing is managed by workplace health and safety.
The two monthly meeting schedule gives us enough time between meetings with not too great a burden on surveillance reports for a single meeting (one hour maximum).
We also have the option of out-of-session email discussions, which we have used on occasion for urgent matters.
Cheers

Thanks Mike for the clear explanation of the ICC set ups and meetings.
I will try again to have this committee schedules for our meetings again.
Since last year we only have 2 meetings. On the ICC TOR and the role of this committee. And the second is our IPC structure with the current staffing in the unit. And then this Covid came.
Thank you,
