Description
Details




The Infection Control Game is based in a virtual ward and recreates the complexities of a norovirus outbreak. The video presentation simulates a day on the Burton Ward, where players must work together to spot the signs of an outbreak and stop it from happening. If they fail, they must manage the consequences of ward closure. As gameplay develops, the video presents challenges which players must manage within the board game.
The Infection Control Game is a hands-on approach to learning about infection prevention and control. Interacting with a simulated ward encourages players to make real world connections with the importance of minimising infection. The game challenges teams to reflect on how they manage infection and promotes teamwork and discussion to improve players confidence in managing on outbreak.

Warning signs of infection
Infection prevention methods
Managing an outbreak
