Break out your swimsuits, fire up the BBQ, don your
sunglasses and slather on some SPF 60 'cause summer is HERE! Hopefully for many of you, summer also means
vacation, relaxation and catching up on some reading for both enjoyment and
professional development. Over the past
couple of years we have included book reviews as part of our summer blog line
up. This year I thought I would start
off with a list of FREE Infection Prevention education sessions hosted this
year by Webber Training. These sessions
are available as teleclasses where you can download the MP3 and listen on your
iPad while following along with the PowerPoint presentation and sipping a
beverage of your choice!
The Teleclass Education by Webber Training is an
international lecture series on infection prevention and control topics. The
objective is to bring the best possible infection prevention and control
information; to the widest possible audience; with the fewest barriers to
access. For 2014 there have been 13 FREE education sessions so far and 3
more to come before the end of August.
