Hi Vanessa, ,
Im sure there is a document somewhere but that is what we have been told to do via our PHU and that is how we train staff now.
Kind regards,

Hello All You Clever People
I am trying to provide a rationale re doffing mask after you have exited a residents room when the resident is in isolation.
The person insists that you remove ALL PPE whilst in the infectious room. In aged care there is no ante room for doffing so you are either in an infectious environment or outside the room.
I have tried to explain that you doff all PPE except for mask in the residents room and remove mask when outside their room.
Can anyone point me to a document that says this – or am I wrong?
Many thanks
