Infection Control Coordinator- M NSc, wife, mum, meema (grandma) & volunteer fire fighter. Life is like a piggy bank & I get way more out of it than I put in.
#ACIPC2021 as this years conference draws to a close are we ready for the "next" pandemic? Hopefully the lessons learnt from COVID-19 won't be too quickly forgotten.
#ACIPC2021 husband creating the conference catering vibe at home for me. Thoroughly enjoying the topics, speakers and connecting virtually. Infection prevention and control clinicians and experts coming together despite COVID-19.

"Of the 150 COVID-19 patients in ICU, 127 are not vaccinated"
That's 150 beds NOT available for cardiac arrest, trauma, stroke, major surgery etc.
People don't stop needing ICU beds for for major health crises when COVID strikes.
Happy World Hand Hygiene Day in the year of the Nurse & Midwife. While it might feel like the year of COVID, hand hygiene & good infection control WILL kick butt. To all my nurse, midwife, infection control & healthcare colleagues & friends have a safe & great day. πππ
A reliable car depends on a good engine, good tyres etc to stay on the road. With out them you don't go anywhere. Good health can't rely on top hospitals, top surgeons, drugs etc. Without hand hygiene it doesn't work. Good care is in our hands.
Happy World Hand Hygiene Day!!!
The first ever gathering of infection control practitoners from across Australia and New Zealand in one place to network and brainstorm hand hygiene and asepsis. Awesome.
