To support our clinical employees with the use of Personal Protective Equipment (PPE) we will now be running daily training sessions across our sites. All sessions will demonstrate the correct application and removal sequence for PPE and associated procedures such as hand hygiene. The sessions will not use actual stock as we need to preserve this for clinical care, however physical simulation, support materials and tuition will provide full guidance.
PPE training will be available to all clinical employees at the following times and locations:
Clinical Area Training

10am and 2pm, Monday to Sunday

How it will work
- Nurse and Midwife Managers will work with Ward-based Educators to identify Clinical Area PPE Super Users.
- The Nursing and Midwifery Education and Strategy (NaMES) team will work with and train PPE Super Users in the PPE Application and Removal procedure to ensure PPE Super Users feel confident to use clinical PPE correctly and safely at all times.
- Training will utilise and include the ‘Applying Personal Protective Equipment at Monash Health’ video, and completion of the ‘Infection Prevention Transmission Based Precautions’ on-line learning via LATTE (required training for Clinical Employees).
