Overview
This one day course provides and overview of key areas in infection control in which there have been significant changes in recent years. The impact of recent key documents from the NH&MRC/CDNA and Standards Australia will be a particular focus of this course.
This course is suitable for all members of the dental team. It will be of particular benefit to dentists, dental auxiliaries and dental assistants who have not undertaken a recent Infection Control course, and who wish to update their knowledge of infection control issues. Attendees will be supplied with a workbook (one per dental practice) which contains the information from the lecture presentations, and provides a structured approach to implementing the new protocols.
