Course Access
ACIPC is excited to announce that we are holding a Lunch and Learn webinar on Thursday 20 March at 12:30pm AEDT.
Topic: IPC in rural and regional hospitals: Establishing an easy-to-follow priority checklist for the IPC National Standard 3
Presenter: Mary-Clare Smith
Description:
The rural and remote settings face big challenges for IPC. Our speaker Mary-Clare Smith, District Infection Prevention and Control CNC – Murrumbidgee LHD New Sout Wales, is the IPC Lead for 31 facilities, a substantial proportion of which have no IPC designated IP Lead or formal position for the role. This reality is the core reason behind the idea of developing a concise, hands-on
tool designed to monitor key aspects of infection prevention and control at the floor level. This tool aims to streamline governance and emphasise IPC principles in rural and remote sites, addressing the critical needs of these unique environments.
About the presenter:
Mary-Clare Smith has worked as a Registered Nurse for 28 years, and during the past 5 years has been the Murrumbidgee Local Health District Infection Prevention and Control Clinical Nurse Consultant, covering 31 Regional and Rural Health Care Facilities
