PRACTICAL PPE EDUCATION

This education session, facilitated by nurse educators from Monash University Nursing and Midwifery, will focus on key principles of infection prevention and control that promote understanding of infection transmission and will include interactive group activities and discussion. During the session all attendees will be given the opportunity to don and doff PPE.

VIRTUAL REALITY PPE SIMULATION

A virtual reality (VR) simulation, specifically designed for aged care, will be used to assist with ongoing PPE education by using a deliberate practice donning and doffing PPE. All workshop attendees will be provided with access to this novel way of learning and given the chance to be immersed in the VR simulation during the workshop. This technology aims to support you in your IPC Lead role, ensuring the successful and continuous delivery of PPE education to staff in your organisation. If you have a laptop and headphones (with speakers) we encourage you to bring them along.
