VICPA/VICNISS Journal Club - WHERE'S THE EVIDENCE?

The VICPA/VICNISS Journal Club has been initiated with the aim of providing a forum for infection control professionals to more widely engage with literature and published data in the field. Objectives include:

• Critically appraising journal articles and data, and considering the implications of study results for infection control practice.
• Recognising the strengths and weaknesses of methods used in reported clinical research in the field.
• Providing opportunities for professional development of infection control professionals through presentation to peers.
• Reviewing and discussing current state, national and international trends in infection control.
• Identifying gaps in the published literature thus highlighting the need/direction for future research in the field.
• Promoting and supporting high standards of practice and professionalism for infection control professionals.
• Providing a forum for infection control professionals engaged in research to present their findings for peer review and discussion.

The next VICPA/VICNISS Journal Club to be held on: TBA

Please join us in continuing to make this a successful joint initiative between VICPA and VICNISS.
