This course combines taught and practical sessions with opportunities for dialogue around outbreak management. Whilst providing a sound foundation in the basics of outbreak management and investigations, the course also delivers specific sessions around agenda setting, constructing timelines, simple stats, case-control studies and writing press releases. The course also features a dedicated ‘table top exercise training experience’ involving a detailed scenario for delegates to work through based on an actual hospital outbreak. A full programme will be sent out to registered attendees prior to the course.
WHO SHOULD ATTEND?
This course is suitable for senior members of infection control teams, who are currently working in, or planning to move into, a role leading HCAI outbreak management.
