Interesting opinion articles on influenza

[Michael Wishart]

This series of opinion pieces on influenza vaccination and disease may be useful as discussion pieces within your healthcare facility as our influenza season ramps up.

I am not endorsing any of the positions within these articles per se, but I see them as useful discussion starters.

Cheers
Michael

Dear Colleagues

Griffith Uni will be running a course on Peripheral IV cannulation and care
commencing on-line 22 July 2013 with a one day workshop including
assessment on August 1st. Could you please help me to promote this
throughout your organisations so we can promote best practice care in this
area! (Flyer attached).

Naturally there is a strong infection prevention and surveillance focus,
with input from expert clinicians, academics and industry in the area. The
course is open to RNs, RMs, RMOs, and students. Credit is available for
those who wish to progress into the Masters programs.

Please contact Dr Niall Higgins n.higgins@griffith.edu.au or 3735 7854 to
reserve a place, or for more information.

Best regards, Claire
