While much of the focus on infection prevention is within acute hospital settings, the Community and Primary Care IPC Training Day addresses the unique challenges faced in GP surgeries, care homes, and domiciliary care. This event in Liverpool, held at the Aintree Racecourse Centre, provides practical, hands-on training for staff who operate outside the traditional hospital environment.
The training day covers essential IPC fundamentals but tailors them to the community setting where resources and equipment may differ. Key topics include the management of outbreaks in communal living areas, safe waste disposal in domestic settings, and the implementation of aseptic techniques during home visits.
A significant portion of the afternoon is dedicated to "Behavior Change." Experts will share psychological strategies to improve compliance among staff and patients, focusing on how to communicate the importance of infection control effectively. The event is designed to be highly interactive, featuring "skill stations" where participants can practice everything from donning and doffing PPE to the latest wound care decontamination methods.
This event is particularly valuable for those looking to update their clinical competencies and ensure their practice aligns with the most recent national guidelines. It offers a supportive environment for networking with other community practitioners across the Liverpool region.
