Re: Calling all infection control professionals to assist – First prize drawn

[brett.mitchell@avondale.edu.au]

Dear all

Congratulations to an IPC in NSW who has won two books related to infection control. The prize for an iPad will be drawn in the next week or two, so if you have not already completed the survey, now is good opportunity.

For ACIPC members in NSW, I would ask that you consider the request that was attached with the ACIPC e-bulletin at the end of the week.

By way of feedback, we now have over 200 responses to the survey, I think that is a record response (in recent years). That said, there are still potentially hundreds who have not yet completed it.

Thanks to all of you for your ongoing support of this project. I hope that in the end, we can provide you with some useful evidence to support infection control arrangements.

Kind regards

Brett

Dear Michael

I am leading a research project “Defining and optimal infection control model” which aims to describe infection control programs in Australian public and private hospitals and to establish national recommendations for health services on the required organisational support, staffing and skills.

This study has three main components

1. A survey of infection control professionals – regardless of where they work.

2. A survey of Australian infection control units – more information to come later this year.

3. Workshop

These three components will enable use to describe current ICP and hospital infection control unit demographics, roles, resources, governance arrangements and barriers to evidence based practice across Australia. Ultimately, we aim to make recommendations for health services on the required organisational support, staffing, skills and expertise. This is a really quick overview of this project.

What are we asking people to do?
So, now we are calling for all ICPs to assist with Phase 1 of the study, by completing an online survey (link below). The survey will take around 5-10 minutes to complete. I am urging all ICPs to complete this survey. This is your chance to be part of this project and contribute to fundamental professional issues. For those working with other infection control colleagues, I ask that you forward this email on and have attached a flyer to promote this further in your units.

Prizes
In addition to the anticipated benefits this project will bring, we are also offering a range of prizes including an iPad, statistical software and infection control books. To go into the draw for these prizes, you must complete the survey and enter the draw upon its completion. The earlier people complete the survey, the most chances of winning.

Please complete the survey now – https://www.surveymonkey.com/s/infectioncontrolprofessionals
