Are you looking to expand your current knowledge or gain insight into how you can minimise the impact of IPC on your efficiency, cost and the environment?

Our team is qualified to assist you in the implementation of contemporary infection prevention and control including reprocessing processes.

Be guided through the principles using a range of media, equipment demonstrations and discussion.  Experience a truly practical session with many take-home tips to reduce risk, increase efficiency and reduce costs associated with consumables use, loss and damage to equipment.

You will learn about:

  • PPE, hand hygiene, sharps, waste and environmental management 
  • aseptic technique – general
  • waterline management and testing 
  • maintaining preparedness 
• working safely and efficiently – staff health and occupational exposure management
• reprocessing instruments and equipment, including:
  • cleaning methods – the role of detergents, ultrasonic cleaners and washer disinfectors
  • the importance of rinsing
  • tracking and the most efficient implementation in your practice
  • sterilisation – releasing loads, documentation and recalls
