Through the learning from week 1 and week 2, I have learnt that the most frequent adverse event in health-care delivery is health care-associated infections. It is essential for us to follow the infection control practices that both patients and us are at a risk of being infected. Standard Precautions involve the use of safe work practices and protective barriers, for example, the use of personal protective equipment(PPE). At first, I think Standard Precautions are very easy. Everyone knows PPE can protect us from infections and hand hygiene is important throughout the process.
Evidence-based practice is the use of the best available evidence together with a clinician 's expertise and a patient 's values and preferences in making health care decisions. In your discussion, you focus on reducing reduce healthcare-associated infections (HAIs). Therefore, it needs a Program that works to expand the available evidence base for evidence-based practice and to ensure clinicians have the tools to put this knowledge base into practice. AHRQ offers several curriculum tools that health care professionals can use to make care safer and improve their communication and teamwork skills. To help you and your patients get the most out of your time together, AHRQ offers these free resources that you can use with your team and share
The passage from John M. Barry’s The Great Influenza explores the significance of certainty and uncertainty to scientific experimentation and research. The author’s employment of metaphor, repetition, and semantic inversion helps to reinforce the claim that, “to be a scientist requires not only intelligence and curiosity, but passion, patience, creativity, self-sufficiency, and courage”. Barry opens the passage with two back-to-back examples of anaphora; these examples of repetition lay a direct emphasis on the strengths that certainty creates, along with the weaknesses that uncertainty creates.

An epidemiology program offers both course work and practical study which would give me a strong foundation in public health especially disease surveillance and prevention. By having advanced training in the United Kingdom, which is considered as the highest standard in education of public health, I will acquire the skills to help not only my department, but also all health care professionals in the city of Basra to understand the principles of approach to the epidemiological research. My next step in my career becomes an interactive lecturer and public health specialist of epidemiology at Basra College of Medicine, lecturing not only to the medical students and doctors in the city of Basra, but my target is to establish a national website for distance teaching from which Iraqi health care professionals can access lectures on the basic principle in epidemiology and research
