I would like to thank Dr Cathryn Murphy for her posting, as I share her concerns but had not yet put my thoughts together on the keyboard. Dr Murphy has reflected my own view (and that of some of my team of infection prevention and control nurses) that ACIPC has no mandate from its members to make such a statement as was released on 22nd February 2016.
Can I please add my voice to the call for the College in future to refrain from assuming members’ positions on non-infection prevention matters and instead focus on working within the scope of the Constitution representing our professional expertise on infection prevention matters.
With respect

Infection Prevention and Control Manager and professional nurse member of ACIPCWithout Prejudice
Dear Members
I was saddened to read the recent Press Release regarding the College’s position on Children In Detention. In my 25 plus years as a member and once President of AICA and as a 7 year board member and 2010 APIC President alignment of a professional body with any non-infection prevention political issue appears unprecedented.
Regardless of where members stand personally on this contentious issue it is arrogant and perhaps even incorrect for the President to assume unilateral support of his position by all members.
Further, whilst the AMA acts as the primary industrial relations agency for medical practitioners and as such rightly has an opinion on this issue the College purpose as stated in its Constitution makes no mention of political commentary as a goal.
Informally, I have canvassed views from at least two other senior College members who are offended by the College’s action. I would request that in future the Executive and College leadership do not assume members’ positions on non infection prevention matters and instead focus solely on working within the scope of the Constitution representing members well on infection prevention matters.
