	Infection Prevention and Control in Residential Aged Care Facilities	Infection Prevention and Control for Office-based Practices: The future in protecting staff, patients and the environment	Orientation to International Outbreak Response with the Global Outbreak Alert and Response Network (GOARN) and World Health Organisation (WHO)
	The aim of the Infection Prevention and Control in Residential Aged Care Facilities Workshop is to work with participants to establish a greater understanding of the IPC Lead role and responsibilities at both national and organisation levels. The benefits, challenges and learnings will be discussed in order to inform the mandatory framework, identify support initiatives and promote success. The workshop is targeted at those nurses who are new or experienced in the IPC Lead role, those responsible for clinical governance within their organisation, educators, aged care providers, quality assessors and those who may be seeking to introduce the IPC Lead program into the home care service setting.	The Infection Prevention and Control for Office-based Practices Workshop provides an informative educational opportunity to enable delegates to directly apply learnings in their workplace. The day has a strong theme around reusable instrument and equipment (inclusive of non-critical) reprocessing, but also covers other important infection prevention and control issues for office-based practices. Participants will be able to participate in a forum with experts to network and discuss issues and learn about resources and available professional support. This day is targeted at those working in office-based practice settings, such as dentistry, medical practice, podiatry and other allied health settings.	This course is targeted to highly experienced Infection, Prevention and Control specialists who are affiliated with GOARN Partner Institutions such as the Australasian College for Infection Prevention and Control with an interest in learning about opportunities and deploying internationally with GOARN and WHO. It is designed for IPC specialists with limited international outbreak response experience. Attendance for this session is strictly limited to 40 people. It is a requirement for people to attend the workshop in-person at the ICC Sydney. PLEASE CLICK HERE FOR FURTHER INFORMATION AND TO COMPLETE AN EXPRESSION OF INTEREST FORM
