Infection control practitioners can find themselves in situations where they feel that there is little opportunity to reflect on their practice and develop strategies on how things might be done differently. The Master Class will provide an opportunity to reflect on current and future challenges in infection prevention and control practice, and the ways in which the infection control practitioner can demonstrate how work that is undertaken in day to day practice can be used to effect improvement. Content will include: Development of the role of the ICP and current and future practice challenges Using data and CPI to implement change Presenting data to engage different groups The ICP as leader To be eligible for this workshop, delegates must have more than 10 years’ experience in an Infection Prevention and Control or Surveillance role within a health service organisation.
