Shame this is behind a paywall, but every IPC specialist should (by now) fully understand Evonne’s comments.
What are we doing (as specialists) to deliver airborne controls? #improveIPC

IPC colleagues and leads from heath professions institutions, NHS Trust DIPCS, etc. This is possibly the most important IPC-related thread you’ll read today and should form the basis of your revised IPC organisational programme. #improveIPC 👇

I honestly believe IPC as a profession will NOT survive intact if it fails to accept airborne transmission as a significant ubiquitous risk and erroneously considers hand hygiene the single most important measure to prevent infection - it is not.

FFS, what’s happening to our supposed specialism? Why are IPC experts not challenging this nonsense? I thought we were about prevention and protection? #improveIPC @NHSEngland

Congratulations @1healthau & teams. We’re hoping for similar outcomes with our #Prevent1SSIPreventCollateralDamage approach which will include the surgical environment & equipment cleaning. Contextualising #InfectionPrevention #SSIPrevention #ImproveIPC #ECCMID2024 #ESCMIDGlobal

Fantastic to see the CLEEN study results accepted as a late breaker #ESCMIDGlobal @1healthau Cleaning shared medical equipment reduces HCAI. Results clearly amazed the audience

Interesting result. We'll probably rewrite some of the #SSI #SSIPrevention guidelines to incorporate our #SSIP #REUSE model for a sustainable future, but that's not criticism in any way to prior SSI work / research. #SSIPreventionWithoutBorders #IPCWithoutBorders #ImproveIPC #IPC

Time to consider more investment in #IPCWorkforce across the board. Fits in nicely with our @SSIPreventionD #Prevent1SSIPreventCollateralDamage mantra - call to action #InfectionPrevention #ImproveIPC

Led by a psychologist & a #HumanFactors engineer! We’re right to want to include psychologists & human factors experts in our #SSIPrevention #Prevent1SSIPreventCollateralDamage #PatientSafety #QI work. Organisational culture- determinant of patient outcomes #AMR #AMS #ImproveIPC

User-centered design techniques for a computerised antibiotic decision support system in the ICU.
This study was led by a psychologist and human factors engineer. Fascinating findings, most of which are directly relevant today. Culture, communication pathways and artifacts (these days the EMR and mobile phones, but back then was the paper record, telephones and pagers)
