Buddy Program for Regional ICPs
Often when starting out in the area of infection control information, guidelines and legislation can be very confusing. Finding someone who can support you and help you with questions and queries can make all the difference. In the metropolitan area we are fortunate enough to be able to attend meetings/seminars and build relationships with other ICPs. In regional areas of Qld this can sometimes be very difficult if not impossible.
To address this
issue ICPAQ have developed a �buddy program� to support infection control
practitioners/staff in our regional areas. The buddy program is based on
a mentorship concept aimed at helping new practitioners find their feet.
For those who become part of the program an executive member is allocated
to the ICP to provide support. This usually consists of a regular phone
call from the executive member to see how the ICP is going. The executive
member becomes a point of contact and someone the ICP can discuss issues with
on a regular basis. If you are interested in becoming part of the program
please contact the Secretary
Infection Control Practitioners' Association of Queensland Inc.
