Preventing & Controlling Infection Committee
The purpose of the SJOG (Midland) Preventing & Controlling Infections Committee is:
To design and implement systems that support and promote the prevention and control of healthcare associated infections, and improve antimicrobial stewardship.
To review, monitor and evaluate systems to prevent, manage and control infections and antimicrobial resistance; reduce harm for patients, consumers and members of the workforce; and achieve good health outcomes for patients.
To ensure that the carer immunisation program is linked to best practices and is monitored for compliance against a risk assessed framework.
To ensure that the re-processing of medical devices complies with the relevant Australian standards.
Carer experience required: We are seeking consumers/carers who have a desire to enhance the patient experience at our hospital. Ideally they will have been a patient or supported a family member or friend during their hospital stay. Applications are strongly encouraged from people across a range of backgrounds, experiences and cultures.
Ideally applicants should live in or have a strong connection with the hospital’s catchment area (City of Swan, Town of Bassendean and Shires of Mundaring, Kalamunda, Northam, Toodyay and York).
