There is no doubt that Long Term Care facilities were hit hard during the pandemic.  In many cases, these facilities do not have a dedicated infection control practitioner on staff which represented a significant gap in preparedness planning and exacerbated the struggles of reacting quickly and effectively to the viral threat.  On this week's episode of Transmission Control, Buffy Lloyd-Krejci joins Dr. Lawrence Muscarella and Justin Poulin to discuss long standing limitations and concerns surrounding infection control practices in long-term care and the significant opportunities for training, not only for clinical staff but non-clinical staff and the general public at large.  Tune in to learn where Buffy believes long term care needs to go from here!
