Abstract:

In the demanding field of Infection Prevention and Control (IPC), achieving and sustaining high performance requires more than technical expertise. It calls for self-regulation—the ability to manage one’s internal states of increasing stress to lead effectively under pressure. This presentation introduces the “5 Moments of Self-Regulation” framework, designed to empower IPC clinicians to maintain resilience, clarity, and leadership in complex environments.

This session will focus on:

  • Enhancing situational awareness and staying neutral in high-stress situations.
  • Reframing conditioned thoughts to foster a growth mindset and lead with confidence.
  • Regulating emotions to sustain high performance and emotional stability in leadership.
  • Taking intentional, aligned actions that support personal and team growth.
  • Achieving sustainable success by aligning thoughts, feelings, and actions with both clinical and organisational goals.

Attendees will gain practical tools for self-regulation that enhance personal well-being, team dynamics, and patient outcomes, contributing to the advancement of IPC standards. By mastering these “5 Moments,” IPC clinicians will be equipped to lead themselves and their teams toward long-term career success in infection prevention and control.
