All News: Glen´s story - the impact of Healthcare acquired infections

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. The video was launched at The 5th International Congress of the Asia Pacific Society of Infection Control (APSIC) in Melbourne, Australia recently. The VICPA Video Project Team request that if you display the video on your hospital web page (intranet or internet) or in your infection control educational material that the title of the video and VICPA acknowledgement as outlined below be included:
