Infection Prevention and Control
Empowering Pharmacists to Tackle AMR
Infection Prevention and Control
Eighteen months on from the inception of the Commonwealth Partnerships for Antimicrobial Stewardship (CwPAMS) programme, the Commonwealth Pharmacists Association has produced a short training resource for healthcare professionals to guide them on the manufacture of alcohol hand rub in pharmacy manufacturing units.
This timely collaboration has involved volunteer pharmacists and others across three continents. It guides health professionals through a step-by-step process for production of alcohol hand rub using the World Health Organisation formulation and guidance. The training video was inspired by the Brighton-Lusaka NHS health partnership. Learn more about infection prevention and control from the videos below.
This video highlights what Infection Prevention and Control is and why it is important and practical steps on how it can be implemented, monitored and supported at your healthcare facility.
