I'm trying to think of a fresh idea for an inservice in October. Something besides the usual handwashing, you know! If anyone has presented a topic that sparked a lot of interest please share! I'll continue to brainstorm also. Hope everyone has an awesome week!
I recently read
Better: A Surgeon's Notes on Performance, written by Atul Gawande, a surgeon at Brigham and Women's Hospital.
Each chapter could be used as a springboard for inservices, beginning with handwashing!
He presents a few trials undertaken by hospitals in an effort to improve their infection stats, the results of those trials/changes and some follow-up.
The whole book was fascinating and inspiring reading,
especially the handwashing chapter.
Just a suggestion! Good luck!
