This was a very good study. Congratulations Brett and team.
Overall no benefits seen with air purifiers, but there still might be some benefits but it will need a much bigger follow up study to see if there is a benefit. Hopefully one will start soon. jamanetwork.com/journals/jam…

NCAS was very pleased to contribute to this important priority-setting publication. The policy research agenda, and implementation agenda is of particular importance. AMR should not be a siloed activity. Needs to be embedded into other quality and safety initiatives.

A wicked problem! Who is responsible for #AMR ? @DrQuain discussing the many ethical issues surrounding antimicrobial use across all sectors.
A #onehealth problem requires a one health solution!

These are the just realesed Aged Care Infection Prevention and Control Guide.
I was fortunate to be the co-chair of the expert group writing these. The intent is to help guide a risk based approach that balances the social and emotional needs of those in aged care, while attempting to lower risk of infection for all, but being practical.

Infection prevention and control must be balanced with quality of life. Prolonged isolation is not appropriate. Some Visits from family should always be allowed.
