IPC Overview

Our IPC colleagues and clinical teams have been and continue to be stretched to the limit and their time is a precious resource.  Recognising there is the need to continue with proactive water safety management, this 30 minute briefing session has been tailored to provide a salient overview of waterborne pathogens and strategies for their management and what can be done to minimise the risk associated with them.  

Topics covered on the course include:

  • Waterborne pathogens - history, current cases reported and reports on when things go wrong...
  • Factors that encourage Legionella and Pseudomonas aeruginosa growth within water systems
  • Routes of transmission and possible contamination of water systems
  • An overview of the law, regulations and guidance applicable to waterborne pathogens
  • Role of the IPC teams with water safety
  • Control strategies that can assist with minimising growth of waterborne pathogens in water systems
  • Identification and management of little used outlets

Course Cancellations & Refunds

There are occasions when delegates may need to change their course booking. We are able to support changes on the following basis:

1) Change of date: When a delegate has communicated with us they are unable to attend a course we can transfer them to another course at a later date. Only one date change is allowed.

2) Delegate Cancellations: - these are time sensitive:

  1. Cancellation requests made before the 14 days preceding the course, options include:
    1. Transfer to another course at a later date. Only one date change is allowed.
    2. Reallocation of their reservation to another person / colleague.
    3. Refund when payment has been received. Credit note if invoice issued and payment has not been received.
  2. Cancellations received within the 14 days preceding the course will be assessed on individual basis, typically refunds are not given.

  3. Course Cancellations: In the unlikely event we need to cancel the course we shall ensure all delegates are transferred on to another course at a later date.

  4. Delegate No show: Leading up to the course date we communicate with each delegate via email and issue a Teams invite for the course. On the morning of the training we complete a registration process, when a delegate has not shown up we will make efforts to connect with them to check they are attending. When we are not able to connect with them they will be removed from the course. Depending on personal circumstances we may allow them to transfer to another course at a later date.
