Regional IP&C Annual Report 2023-24
The Southern Health-Santé Sud Regional Infection Prevention & Control (IP&C) Annual Report 2023-2024 is now available. Please make this report available for staff working in acute care, personal care homes and community programs.
“Prevent with Intent” was the theme of National Infection Control Week (October 14-18, 2024). At the forefront of infection prevention is the practice of good hand hygiene and the use of personal protective equipment for all health care workers. Performing screening of clients coming to our facilities or in our care, emphasizing good cleaning and disinfection of care environments and encouraging vaccinations play a strong role in preventing healthcare associated infections and outbreaks. A healthy infection control program requires teamwork, collaboration and education to improve patient safety and staff wellness.
