Infection prevention and control nurses

We primarily support the staff of social welfare and health care institutions in the Wellbeing Services County of Ostrobothnia welfare region and private service providers in the region in various issues related to hygiene and infection control, epidemics and multidrug resistant microbes in order to promote patient/client safety and staff safety at work. We create guidelines for staff and train them.
