Infection Prevention and Control in Healthcare Settings, particularly in Aged Care Facilities

In the Australian healthcare system, infection prevention and control (IPC) is a critical aspect of patient safety and quality care. However, IPC in aged care facilities can be challenging due to various factors, such as outdated equipment, limited resources, and staff shortages.

In Hunter New England, the Infection Prevention Service offers resources and support to aged care facilities, including guidance on IPC practices, training programs, and access to infection prevention products. The service aims to help healthcare workers in these settings protect patients and staff while delivering high-quality care.
