Hello All
It was agreed 2 years ago at National Exec Committe that Infection Control Week would always be the first week of November therfore this year it will be 6th November. Please speak to NEC reps for your Branch for further information. At present no theme has been agreed and it is up to individual Branches to do "their own thing" so to speak. Unless someone comes up with a lot of financial support it is not possible to produce enough items nationally to distribute to all to make a campaign of high quality. Many Branches have continued to go it alone and with success. If anyone wishes to speak to me about it please call me or send e mail to [email protected]

I have found a great web site that allows you to create puzzles and word searches to your own theme. I used this for last years campaign to create a word search on personal protective clothing during infection control week. It is great particularly if you want to involve non clinical staff in a competition that everyone can have a go at. It took around 4 minutes to create and was simple and free.
Thought you might like to know as I always spend hours thinking up new ideas to promote infection control and this was a god send! the web site is:
