Hi Glenys,
I know Adelaide University is doing Grad Cert in IC and JCU is doing IC courses as Ive spoken to the tutor during the ACIPC conference.
To my knowledge the Flinders Medical Centre and the Alfred running annual courses over a couple of days, I believe.Regards

Hi Erin,
Unfortunately, I can’t help you but would like to join your issue as we are currently looking into updating our auditing schedule and tools and want to address the specificity of operating theatres as well.

Hi all
Does anyone have an example audit program and/or audit tools you could share for infection control auditing that should occur in a theatre suite (in addition to HH) and CSSD? Especially to meet the NSQHS standards. And the same for general practice to meet RACGP standards. I work across both areas. Much appreciated.
Kind regards,
Erin

Hello,
Thanks very much Donna, Rachel and Robert – great help.
Cheers
SonjaHi Sonja,
I would recommend you refer to both the ASID/AICA position statement – Infection control guidelines for patients with Clostridium difficile infection in healthcare settings (link here http://www.publish.csiro.au/hi/HI11011 ) and to the Hand hygiene Australia website (link here http://www.hha.org.au/About/ABHRS/abhr-limitations.aspx ) which provide guidance re hand hygiene requirements for C. difficile.
While alcohol is not effective against C. difficile spores it is effective against the vegetative form of the bacteria. Spores are a survival mechanism of this organism for when times get tough (so to speak).
HHA recommends that “gloves should be used during the care of patients with CDI, to minimise spore contamination, and if hands become soiled, or gloves have not been used, then hands must be washed with soap and water.”Regards,
Donna

I’m interested in how healthcare facilities go about Clostridium positive patients and Hand Hygiene products. As ABHR is not efficient with C-diff, we advise staff to mainly use water and soap for their 5 moments of hand hygiene rather ABHR, especially when leaving patient and patient environment. Also emphasising daily cleaning of high touch areas with sporicidal product.
Now it came to my attention, that ward manager completely removing ABHR from C-diff positive patients environment and expect staff to only use water hand soap for their HH. This is an issue on our ICU ward and I’m currently working on a practical advice/solution.
I’m greatly appreciating any practical help/advice.
