Sally finds this area very rewarding and has taken up further study within this area. Sally has maintained the education and information for all staff, residents and visitors. There has been updated information of hand hygiene at all basins and in-service education provided. Sally is aware that the influenza season poses serious health risks for many of the residents in the facility. Sally discusses her concerns with her supervisor and the infection control consultancy nurse. A program for immunisation is regularly held each year for staff and residents but it was agreed that more information and raising awareness regarding other measures for control of respiratory disease should be taken. One of the tasks Sally has been allocated is to update information in the facility for everyone regarding coughing and the correct disposal of tissues.
