INFECTION PREVENTION AND CONTROL PROGRAM DESCRIPTION, OUTLINES & OBJECTIVES FOR THE MINISTRY OF HEALTH, SAUDI ARABIA 23 RD 27 TH OCTOBER 2016 DR. EMMA BURNETT & MRS. PATRICIA KYDD 1
Program Description This five day program is designed for practitioners who have responsibility for infection prevention and control and antimicrobial stewardship to develop evidencebased knowledge of healthcare associated infections and infection prevention and control practice. This program aims to develop and enhance knowledge and understanding of the microbiological and environmental factors that contribute to the incidence, prevalence, transmission, prevention and control of healthcare associated infections. It also aims to assist with the development of knowledge, understanding and skills required to function effectively in infection prevention and control practice so that patient and public safety is a priority. In doing so, it will enhance professional leadership, evidencebased knowledge and practice skills to enable practice development, multiprofessional team work and collaboration. This program addresses the domains, competency statements and performance indicators set out in the outcome competency framework for practitioners in infection prevention and control. The program will utilise a range of delivery modes, including formal lecture based sessions and interactive workshop activities. Delegates will have opportunities to engage in reflective and critical discussions to allow consideration of the application of theoretical principles to their own clinical practice. Delegates will also be provided with additional reading which supports the taught content. A certificate of completion will be awarded at the end of the program. 2
