Do you have COVID-19 or flu symptoms?

It's important to stay away from high-risk areas like hospitals & aged care homes when you're unwell until all symptoms are gone.

There is a need for stewardship in #aged care, and even greater need for education to support those working in aged care to implement AMS initiatives.

Our Aged Care webinars are reflective of this and are some of our most attended events.
See you online on Wednesday 19th June 8:30am AEST

It’s #WorldImmunisationWeek. Now is a great time to book your flu vaccine appointment ahead of winter. 😷

The influenza vaccine is recommended for everyone aged 6 months and over. It not only protects you, but also helps protect those around you.

Pilot study to evaluate the need and implementation of a multifaceted NURSE-LED antimicrobial stewardship intervention in residential aged care in Victoria, Australia. We can see engaged and interested nurses BUT who are time poor, dealing with competing challenges and who need more support from the GPs to execute the actions effectively.

Some things need topping up from time to time, including your #COVID19 protection.

If you’re 18+ and it’s been 6 months since your last COVID-19 vaccine or infection, you can get a booster now.
