Description
As an infection control consultant, you have been brought in to your clinical setting (this could be your current place of work or a healthcare setting you are familiar with) to prepare a report and propose a
set of infection control guidelines for the infection control team to manage the most significant respiratory infection in the setting.
The report would be expected to include the following components:
• A detailed description of the respiratory infection including the aetiology and epidemiology.
• The specific infection control challenges pertaining to this infection should be discussed including analysis of risk factors for the acquisition of the infection and mode of transmission.
• Examine, in detail, how these challenges impact on patient care.
• Identify the core components of the control strategy required to reduce the burden of this infection in your clinical setting.
