Focus on education

Nigel Braithwaite’s sessions focus on infection control and in particular: the importance of using effective drapes and gowns in the creation and maintenance of a sterile field; drapes and gowns as medical devices (what this means to providers and users); and the importance of compliance with the Medical Device Directive, BS EN13795 and related legislation.

Jane Aston’s expertise and background enable her to present on double gloving: utilising evidence based practice to reduce your risk; reducing the potential risk of latex, as well as tackling problem pathogens such as Hepatitis. Further topics are planned, including hand hygiene, MRSA (the clinical and financial impact) and SSI.
