This year, International Infection Prevention Week falls on October 20 – 26. APIC does a wonderful job promoting this event and offers a lot of great resources for all those interested in infection control and risk management efforts. Infection prevention starts with all of us, not just nurses and doctors, but everyone! APIC, the Association for Professionals in Infection Control and Epidemiology has dedicated an entire section of their web site to assist those interested in learning more about infection prevention and isolation precautionary measures.
