Glen's Story, "How Hospital Associated Infections Can Impact on a Person's Life and Family"
Produced by The Victorian Infection Control Professionals Association (VICPA).
Healthcare associated infections can have a significant impact on patients, their families and healthcare facilities. In Australia each year it is estimated there are 200,000 hospital associated infections and many of these infections are preventable. To support infection control professionals in their infection prevention and control initiatives the Victorian Infection Control Professionals Association (VICPA) has developed a storytelling video with the assistance and support of a family who share their experience and the impact that acquiring a hospital associated infection has had on their lives". Glenys Harrington, VICPA Video Project Team Coordinator. View the video HERE
