New Short Course: IPC during Construction, Renovation and Maintenance in Healthcare Facilities
ACIPC is excited to announce a new short course launching in 2026: IPC during construction, renovation and maintenance in healthcare facilities. Expressions of interest are now open.
Construction, renovation and maintenance are essential in modern healthcare, but they also introduce infection risks if not carefully planned and managed. Dust, water system disturbances, altered workflows and contractor activity can all compromise the safety of patients, staff and visitors. This course is designed to strengthen confidence and capability in managing these risks through an IPC lens.
Participants will explore key IPC principles that underpin effective risk mitigation, including the role of the IPC professional, identification of stakeholders, and embedding IPC into planning, design, commissioning and handover processes.
A strong practical focus will be delivered through real-world examples, case studies and scenario-based discussions, supporting participants to work through complex situations and problem-solving approaches.
The course will also examine strategies for effective communication with clinical and non-clinical stakeholders, navigating competing priorities, escalating concerns, and influencing safe decision-making. Content will link closely to relevant regulations, standards and guidelines.
This short course will be valuable for IPC professionals, clinical leaders, quality and safety staff, and facilities and engineering teams.
