Infection prevention is a critical component of health services in Australia, particularly in settings like hospitals and aged care facilities. The Hunter New England Infection Prevention Service (HNEIPS) plays a vital role in ensuring the safety and well-being of patients and healthcare workers.
Protocols for Infection Prevention
The HNEIPS provides guidelines and protocols for infection prevention, including hand hygiene, gowning, and personal protective equipment (PPE). These protocols are designed to be followed by healthcare workers in various settings.
Setting-Specific Guidelines
"We work closely with the Aged Care Infection Prevention Forum to ensure that our guidelines and protocols align with national standards," explains a spokesperson for HNEIPS. "Our goal is to provide safe and effective infection prevention practices for all healthcare workers in New South Wales."
