Brief Outline Of A Day In The Life Of An Infection Prevention And Control Nurse
Introduction
Infection Prevention and Control has never mattered as much as it has in the last 18 months or so of the covid-19 pandemic:
Organisations, including healthcare organisations and the public got to realise the importance of IPC and IPC Nurses/ practitioners, in the prevention and control of infections.
It’s worth bearing in mind that IPC Nurses have been around for years, even before covid-19, providing the IPC services to help protect staff, patients, and the public.
