Infection prevention is important in all healthcare
facilities, but residents of long-term care facilities can be especially
vulnerable to the spread of infection. The National Health and Medical Research
Council of Australia have put together the Infection
Prevention and Control in residential and community aged care guide for
staff of long-term care to help stop the spread of infection.
Based on the most current best practice, this guide is divided
into 3 parts. Part A gives a detailed
overview of the importance of infection prevention, keywords and visual
instructions for promoting hygiene. Part
B provides tips and advice for infection prevention in residential aged care including
outbreak management. Part C imparts tips
and advice for community aged care.
