2024 International Infection Prevention Week

15 October 2024

Infection Prevention and Control (IPC) Week is an important milestone to recognise the part we all play in the prevention and control of infections in health care. As the lead agency for NSW Health Infection Prevention and Control (IPAC) and Healthcare associated Infections (HAI), the Clinical Excellence Commission provides leadership on safety and quality across the state.

The CEC has also developed a suite of education and training resources that promote infection prevention and control practices for healthcare providers, clients, patients, residents.

To mark the 2024 IPC Week, the CEC has developed a video with five Infection Control Practitioners (ICPs) from across NSW Health to discover why they chose a career in IPC.
