QLD | Infection Control Workshop

A

When you are running a busy practice it is hard to find the time to both be fully aware of PBA requirements let alone ensure that they are all implemented. Unfortunately, in the event of a notification triggering an AHPRA infection control audit, neither ignorance or being time poor are accepted as excuses.

Hear about the experience of Podiatrists who have been through the process and what you can do to ensure you meet your PBA infection control requirements.

Using the PBA infection control self audit tool, you will be guided through the use of the APodA Infection Control Guidelines and Policy, freely available web resources and essential AS/NZS standards. Hear practical tips on improving your practice environment, learn how thorough notification inspections are and gain confidence that your knowledge will be current.

This intensive one day workshop delivered by Podiatrist Brenda Tonkin, who has been involved in the production of the APodA’s Infection Prevention and Control Guidelines for Podiatrists, and has written and delivered the training modules for the Allied Health Assistant certificate course for Podiatry Assistants. Brenda has supported a number of Podiatrists throughout their AHPRA infection control audits, and knows first hand what the auditors look for and what steps a Podiatrist can take to become compliant.
