Infection Control Matters

In the latest episode of Infection Control Matters, Brett and Martin chat with Dr Deirdre Fitzgerald-Hughes and Aoife Kearney about a national survey undertaken in Ireland. In the survey, they explored CPE knowledge and practices of healthcare workers, including infection control staff. There were some interesting findings, that may be useful in informing IPC education and training.

The paper we discuss is:
