Building an Infection Control Culture in Oral Surgery
A written protocol is essential, but what happens during a busy clinical day? In an oral surgery practice, infection control culture shows up in the decisions staff make, the concerns they raise, and the way the team responds when something is difficult to do safely.
In this episode of The Infection Control Exchange Podcast, recorded at the IPAC GTA Education Day, Wayne Tucker and his guest discuss:
• The difference between compliance and a true culture of infection control
• Where to start when a practice wants to shift mindsets
• Ways to engage frontline staff and make audits and education more meaningful
• How to address pushback and fatigue without becoming the “compliance cop”
• One practical step a team can take to begin improving its culture
This conversation is for oral surgery teams and anyone working to make infection prevention a shared part of everyday practice.
