Hi Cathi
Our main Infection Control Committee, which includes our VMOs (surgeons, intensivists microbiologists, ID physicians), meets every two months, and on the alternate month, we have a non-clinical meeting which looks at water results, cleaning, sterilisation and food services, which reports by exception to the main committee.
We also have a sub committee for AMS. Fit testing is managed by workplace health and safety.
The two monthly meeting schedule gives us enough time between meetings with not too great a burden on surveillance reports for a single meeting (one hour maximum).
We also have the option of out-of-session email discussions, which we have used on occasion for urgent matters.
Cheers
Michael

OFFICIAL
Hi all,
How often does your IPC Committee meet? Is that frequency appropriate to meet governance needs?
Do you have working groups or subcommittees? If so, for what?
Any other IPC governance suggestions / initiatives that might be helpful?
Always looking to improve!
Thanks
Kind regards,
Cathi
