Keeping Everyone Safe: Infection prevention during joint visits
We look at several aspects of infection prevention and control that are crucial to patient / client safety. Evonne will explain how micro-organisms behave, their capability of surviving in the environment and the modes of transmission. We then assess the risks in what we do, and what we need to do in order to prevent the risk of new infections spreading to both the patient / client and ourselves.
Learning Outcomes
- Microbiology, in order to recognise risks in our day-to-day activity
- Using personal protective equipment to negate risks and keep everyone safe
- Safe decontamination of low risk items of equipment which are shared between patients
