Adult social care providers are being invited to take part in an evaluation of the Who Cares? infection prevention podcast series.
Developed by the South West Health Protection Team and partners, the podcasts explore antimicrobial resistance (AMR) and infection prevention in care settings. The series aims to share practical knowledge, provide expert insights and support care workers in reducing the spread of infections.
The evaluation will help organisers understand how useful the resources are and how they can be improved to support the care sector in the future.
