Hello,

Currently all new employees complete written infection control education packages. Does anyone know of any online learning modules (other than the Hand Hygiene Australia module) that I can direct staff to complete that is free for our hospital to utilise and perhaps offers a certificate of completion afterwards as proof of compliance? We are trying to move from paper to online learning where possible.

Kind Regards,

Chelsea Kop

Hi Fiona,

You may find that environmental health may be able to assist you here. As staff tea rooms are supposed to be separate from patients tea rooms, I am presuming they will say something to the same effect about a medication room. I would worry about the hygiene of where are the cups and coffee etc going to be stored and ensuring that the hand basin remains for hand hygiene purposes only – no cups of tea tipped into the basin. I could visualise if you accepted the urn then slowly staff will be introducing biscuits and so on to the room.
Good luck

Hi All,

I have been asked to consider placing a zip urn for hot water access in a medication room. My initial response was it is not appropriate to make tea and coffee in the same room where staff are drawing up medications. However when I have looked for the evidence to back this up I have had trouble finding any.

What do others think about this issue from an infection prevention and control point of view?
