New APIC campaign for patient education in infection prevention

[Wishart, Michael]

APIC have launched a new public education campaign to help educate on
the dangers of healthcare associated infections, and how to prevent
them.

ntSafetyAwarenessWeek/Patient_Safety_Aware.htm

It will be interesting to see if anything like this is proposed within
Australia for patient education about healthcare infection prevention
with Australian healthcare facilities. Will Australian healthcare
facilities be happy to encourage patients to question their care
provision?

Cheers
Michael
