MARGARET JENNINGS | MICROBIOLOGIST, INFECTION PREVENTION CONTROL EDUCATOR & CONSULTANT TO GENERAL PRACTICE

Marg provides Infection Prevention & Control (IPC) education and review to staff in the non-hospital setting. This is by engaging staff through demonstration, competency checking and provision of resources for ongoing education.

Her interest in IPC started many years ago when reviewing the use of chemical disinfectants. Later, when the national standard for instrument reprocessing was released, this sparked her interest in its application in office-based practice.
