Managing Infection Control Programmes in Health Facilities
A senior-level treatment of hospital infection control programmes, focused on what changes outcomes.
Course Overview
Variation in hospital infection control programmes between shifts and sites is where avoidable harm lives. In healthcare, a weakness in control programmes is eventually paid for by a patient. Discussion is anchored to worked examples of the health and pharmaceutical services discipline rather than to abstract argument. It concentrates on the parts of hospital infection control programmes that determine outcomes and treats the rest proportionately. A common pattern is strong design of this aspect of health and pharmaceutical services paired with weak follow-through. Participants finish able to explain control programmes to a non-specialist audience without losing precision. Participants come from operational and oversight roles, and both perspectives on hospital infection control programmes are used deliberately. Across sectors, teams that rehearse control programmes outperform teams that only plan it. The programme closes with an action plan for the practice within health and pharmaceutical services that each participant writes for their own organisation.
