Hi Glenys,

I would like to take this opportunity to personally thank you, the VICPA video project team and, of course, the amazing participants in this video; Glen and Penny, for this truly remarkable video. I saw this video at APSIC and was astounded by its impact. We have our new cohort of interns for 2012 commencing orientation in 2 weeks and I will be showing the participants this video. Again, my congratulations and thanks to you and your colleagues for this fantastic Australian resource.

Kind regards
Rachel

Dear All,

To support infection control professionals in their infection prevention and control initiatives the Victorian Infection Control Professionals Association (VICPA) has developed a storytelling video with the assistance and support of a family who share their experience and the impact that acquiring a hospital associated infection has had on their lives.

The video was launched at The 5th International Congress of the Asia Pacific Society of Infection Control (APSIC), 8-11 November 2011, Melbourne, Australia
and we include a link to the abstract: http://www.apsic2011.com/abstract/223.asp

The VICPA Video Project Team would like to share the video with the infection control community. The team request that if you display the video on your hospital web page (intranet or internet) or in your infection control educational material that the title of the video and VICPA acknowledgement as outlined below be included:

Glen’s Story
How Hospital Associated Infections Can Impact on a Person’s Life and Family.
Produced by The Victorian Infection Control Professionals Association (VICPA)
