IPS collaboratively with the Association for Perioperative Practice (AfPP) and the Central Sterilising Club (CSC) have created a set of 29 PowerPoint slides for COVID-19 infection prevention & control for the Operating Department based on the PHE guidance.
We have updated the IPS Training package on COVID-19. This set of 32 PowerPoint slides covers the basics of COVID-19 infection prevention & control and you are welcome to adapt them to support training of healthcare workers in your own workplace. They have been developed by IPS Board members and are based on the latest PHE guidance. We will endeavour to keep them updated as this changes and share with you on the dedicated COVID-19 Resources page of our website.
