The Australian Dental Association (NSW Branch) is proud to support the University of Newcastle’s B Oral Health Therapy (12390) program. This Infection Prevention and Control (IPC) lecture forms part of the mandatory pre-placement requirements for students moving forward to pass their degrees.
This lecture will focus on the key elements of managing COVID-19 risk while it remains in our community, which could be for some time yet, and reveal the top areas of opportunity to improve IPC processes based on performance-based data and insights gained as the peak body for the profession.
In this two hour on-demand video lecture, 3rd year students will:
• Understand how a robust IPC program would be implemented at a practice or organisational level – a risk management approach.
• Learn how to practise safely in a COVID-19 world – working within a safe system of work
• Learn why IPC is a priority for the dental profession – not just dentists
• Understand the regulatory framework that registered dental practitioners work within
• Recognise healthcare consumer expectations for IPC – what are they looking for?
• Understand changes to Personal Protective Equipment – what have we learned with COVID-19?
• Investigate what a safety culture looks like? Working as a team in a dental practice.
