Fighting Back Against Healthcare Infections and Superbugs
The best way to reduce the occurrences of hospital and healthcare associated infections is to ensure that staff have been adequately trained. In-house training using BVS products offers this solution in the most effective and efficient way.
(PRWEB) July 1, 2005 -- The UK's Department of Health and Commission for
Social Care Inspection (CSCI) has announced this week that it is going to begin
auditing residential Care Homes for Infection Control problems as part of the
response to the growing problem of healthcare associated infections such as
MRSA. Jane Kennedy, the minister in charge of infection control measures, warned
it was “everyone’s business” to improve standards.
The UK’s Department of
Health, Social Services and Public Safety has identified that one of the key
ways to win the fight against healthcare associated infections is to ensure that
healthcare workers improve their ongoing professional training. But managers can
never be sure that their staff have been trained in best practice without
sending them individually on expensive training courses.
The answer,
according to Paul Neville, Learning Development Manager of BVS Training Ltd, is
to use an in-house training model: “Training in-house with our videos is
flexible, professional, and effective and also offers the benefits of reduced
disruption of rotas and overall value for money”.
BVS, leveraging the
experience they have gained in producing training solutions for the care sector,
has added to its range of infection control products by launching three new
training resources on infection control for the community and hospital settings.
Using the BVS videos and the accompanying question and answer sheets and
case studies, learning points are clearly demonstrated. Managers can then be
satisfied that staff have understood all the learning points conveyed. It is
then up to managers to ensure that staff are applying the training in practice.
Should managers identify the need to revisit some of that training this is
easily achieved by having short refresher sessions.
“Our products are
designed to ensure healthcare standards are improved through improving the
skills of staff. With our infection control titles it is the community as a
whole that is improved” said BVS Managing Director Luke Bond.
