Hi All,
I am currently completing a gap analysis on Standard three of the
national standards, I am looking at 3.10.1, 3.10.2 and 3.10.3 which is
regarding aseptic non touch technique, training, auditing and
compliance.Initially I was taken a back, as I assumed this an element of nurse
training that occurred very early on in courses whether it hospital
training or university.Although I have since been informed from graduates that pending which
university they attend is dependant onto what principals they are taught
as some graduate nurses have informed me they have only been taught
wound field concept and not aseptic principals.I then proceeded to complete some observations in which I documented
varying practices including touching the bin because the pedal was
broken and continuing without hand hygiene, I will not comment on all
but as you can imagine I observed some very unorthodox practices which
has changed my initial assumption.My question to the group is:
How is everyone planning to ensure a workforce is trained in aseptic
technique, regularly audited and compliance monitored as stated in
standard three?Many thanks in advance for your thoughts comments and assistance on the
above.Kind Regards

Hi Nicky,
We have developed an e-learning theoretical package and a theory /
practical competency assessment for clinical staff who are required to
use ANNT. We have currently rolled this out to staff and they are
undertaking the package and assessment.To be assessed as competent staff must complete the e-Learning package,
answer theory questions from their assessor and then demonstrate safe
practice. We will use completion data as part of the audit process and
it will also be included in the audit of standard precautions which we
will be developing.I am happy to chat offline about this if you like.
Kind Regards,
Fiona De Sousa

Hey Nicky,
How are you getting on with your gap analysis? And is there any chance you can tell me exactly what you analysed and any other info cos I’m going to do one too and I’ll give you my results too.
I’ve never done one so I have no idea where to start!!!
Cheers,
Helen.
