Infection Prevention & Control Champions

As a result of COVID - 19, Advanced Clinical Solutions has seen a huge increase in demand for our ‘Infection Prevention & Control Champions Framework’. These health and social care organisations are now in a great place of ‘preparedness’ for a second wave , localised spike or any other infection that comes their way.

As Experts in Infection Prevention & Control we understand the importance of a robust framework during the current Pandemic, but also understand the need to be IPC ready for future outbreaks of other infections.

By empowering individual Champions through training, mentoring and supervision we help embed a culture of best practice, education and accountability, which is cascaded through the rest of the organisation and driven by the staff. Our uniquely developed framework consists of working closely with the designated champions to understand their currently knowledge base through GAP analysis, provide in-depth guidance driven training sessions, regular 1-2-1 progress appraisals, link practitioner groups to share best practice and access to a IPC specialist.

Alongside this we design and help implement organisation specific policies and procedures.

Through regular auditing utilising our in-depth audit tools we highlight areas of good practice and track improvements, working with the IPC Champion to develop their ability to self audit, leading to a organisation default of infection prevention rather than infection cure.

It can be delivered completely remotely and includes the following :

• A comprehensive CPD accredited education program covering many aspects of Infection Prevention & Control, including outbreak management ,Standard Infection Control Precautions, Transmission Based Precautions, Aseptic Technique, Sepsis and more.....
• One-to-one weekly sessions available for the champions these being optional on an individual basis- by appointment.
• Monthly group virtual meetings to discuss progress and encourage peer support
• Regular updates by ACS to key stakeholders
• Review of documents such as policies , procedures and risk assessments for accuracy , current evidence base and consistency
• Development of a bespoke Internal audit and/or governance framework for IPC ,which sets the organisation up to continue after our support has ended.

As an organisations our teams expertise in IPC is second to none, our teams knowledge and skills include an MSc In Infection Prevention & Control, Scientific Advisory to British Institute of Cleaning's Science and a University Lecturer on IPC Modules for Clinical Practice (Level 7)
