- Recommend environmental cleaning and disinfection requirements.
- Support national IPAC alignment by participating in workshops, training, and communication forums.
- Monitor regional infection trends, investigate suspected outbreaks, and analyze data such as surgical site infection rates.
- Coordinate N95 fit-testing sessions and produce annual status reports.
- Guide and support sterilization processing staff and maintain related records.
- Complete the clinic’s accreditation IPAC self assessment when required.
