Healthcare and aged care environments face some of the toughest challenges when it comes to infection prevention. Despite rigorous cleaning and disinfection protocols, harmful microbes often persist—and in many cases, the very process of cleaning can unknowingly damage surfaces, creating hidden microbial reservoirs.
Cleaning is recognised as essential in healthcare and aged care, but many still underestimate the impact of targeted, high-quality cleaning in preventing Healthcare-Associated Infections (HAIs). Patients affected by HAIs, contribute to longer hospital stays, increased costs, and avoidable harm. Globally, HAIs remain a persistent challenge in care environments.
This session will delve into the intricacies of healthcare environmental hygiene, highlighting the challenges posed by silos of expertise and the stringent regulatory requirements and guidelines that must be met.
This presentation explores the specialized field of healthcare cleaning, which goes far beyond standard cleaning practices.
