Hi Glenys, thanks for sending this through, this is great. To further clarify JCU’s course, it is a Graduate Certificate of Infection Control as the course classification.
Regards, Vanessa.

E: infexion@ozemail.com.auHi All,
I’m often asked for details of infection control course (i.e. certificate, graduate diploma, masters) in Australia.
Does anyone have a list?
If not I’m happy to compile a list and share on infexion-connexion if colleagues can send me through the details or links.
Many thanks in anticipation.

Hi Michael, further to Michelle’s email below, here at JCU (QLD) we teach a risk management approach. WE don’t teach to routinely wear gloves for IV antibiotics unless the risk of skin absorption warrants it and also if there is a risk of body fluid exposure whilst administration.
Regards, Vanessa.
HI Michael
I am pretty sure that students coming out of university training for placement in Victoria are educated to wear gloves for drawing up Abs, so maybe a curriculum check would be worth while and based on what evidence have they made this decision
Kind regards

[cid:6DCA90E4-F8F8-4B32-AE1B-E170DE71C83A]Hi all
I have been asked if we should have a policy regarding routine use of gloves when preparing and administrating IV antibiotics. My initial reaction is no, we should not be handling IV antibiotic solutions in such a way as to cause skin exposure. But having looked at some of the product information regarding the vesicant nature of some antibiotics (eg vancomycin), and the risk of adverse effects via absorption through the skin (eg gentamicin), I am wondering whether a standard approach to wearing gloves when handling antibiotic solutions should be recommended. And should we also recommend protective eyewear for this?
What do other facilities advise staff in regard to this? And how much of a risk would you consider this may be to staff?
Thanks for any opinions and comments.
Cheers
