New IPAC Canada Webinar September 29 - Surveillance of Infections in Long Term Care IPAC Canada invites members and non-members to attend this webinar on September 29th, 2020. Please feel free to share this invitation with your colleagues. A toolkit was developed to support long-term care homes in conducting surveillance of infections in residents. The tools are easy to use, intuitive and require minimal technical expertise. They support the entire surveillance process from daily monitoring of residents for signs and symptoms of infection through to the analysis and use of the data. An introduction to each of the components of the toolkit will be provided.
