That is a really great question and one I would be interested to see people’s thoughts.
I am not employed as an “ICP”, but I am working in a role that is within the same space, overseeing implementation of AS4187 requirements across my organisation. I am not a nurse, but I am a credentialled ICP via ACIPC.
I wonder how many other credentialled members of ACIPC are not nurses like me?

P.S. I have a Masters in Cardiothoracic Physiotherapy

Kind regards

Hi all,

I’m thrilled to see all the Infection Control positions coming up in our facilities.

I wondered though, if someone could please clarify why all of the positions require a nursing qualification?

If suitable and relevant experience and qualifications can be demonstrated, is it critical that the Infection Prevention and Control practitioner needs to be a nurse, especially if they are working across multidisciplinary teams?

Thanks
