IPC and staff health hours

[Michelle Dodd]

Good morning all,

I know this has been asked before but I would like to compare our staffing levels to the staffing in the IPC world. We are a regiopnal multi-purpose service.

Can I please get the following – if you are willing to share…..

* hours that your aged care IPC Lead has fortnightly
* numbers of beds
* number of staff

Thank you all in advance!

Hi Michelle,
Th facility that I work at is an aged care facility with 100 beds and approx 115 staff including clinical, non-clinical and casual staff. I work as Grade 5 After hours Nurse in-charge and IPC coordinator. I am allocated with 7.5 hours per week to perform duties of IPC such as preparing monthly infection reports, ensuring enough PPE stock, education to staff on IPC related practices, doing annual donning/doffing/hand hygiene competency for the staff etc. Hope it helps Thanks Sana
