Would you mind circulating this email to all our IPC Ireland colleagues when you get a moment. I have already sent the memo out via the HPSC Lead Hand Hygiene Auditors distribution list but with the ongoing issues with IT since the cyber -attack I am also using any other communication routes available.
Many thanks

I’ve attached the competencies here again for easy access.

Have a good day.

Helen Lemass replied to the topic IPC Competencies for review in the forum Guidelines, Standards and Protocols 3 years, 5 months ago

I hope everyone has a chance to read this document?

It has a lot of implications to the role of the CNS IPC. Please note closing date for responses is July 12th so please respond to Emer ASAP?

Emer will then communicate Josephine Galway on our behalf
