As a specialist in epidemiology at the clinic, I help to ensure a safe environment for patients, medical staff and carers by implementing and monitoring measures to prevent and control healthcare-associated infections. My role involves developing and updating prevention protocols, carrying out epidemiological surveillance, monitoring compliance with hygiene and disinfection standards, and continuously assessing the risks of infection transmission. I work closely with the medical team to develop practices based on the latest recommendations and standards in the field of epidemiology.
