Residential Care Visits 2015

During fall 2015, PICNet’s Bug Gang will visit long-term care facilities across the Lower Mainland. For the past three years, our educational infection control game has been a huge hit. We are limited in the number of facilities we can visit, so be sure to book early if you’d like us to come!

PICNet can visit your long-term care facility during mid-September to mid-November 2015. We can do a morning or an afternoon session (or two sessions, depending on your staffing schedule). We need a separate room, ideally with a large table that everyone can sit around, and we prefer to see the staff in groups of 8-20 people. Each session lasts about 45 minutes, although it’s best if we have a full hour so that there is time for questions and answers. There will be prizes for everyone!

This year, due to budget restrictions, we will be charging a $200 fee to for-profit facilities.

If you are interested in having PICNet visit your facility, please complete the form below and submit it to us by email (picnet@phsa.ca) or fax (604-875-4373). Upon receipt, we will follow up with a phone call to confirm our visit date and to discuss your infection control week needs.

If you’d like us to visit your facility:

  • Submit the application form by September 15, 2015
  • Visit dates: any time from mid-September to late November; indicate your preferences on the form
  • We can only visit facilities in the Lower Mainland, and only ones that we did not visit last year.
  • Preference will be given to facilities that make the workshop mandatory

Windermere_11If we’re unable to visit your facility or you’d like to run the workshop yourself, you can order one of PICNet’s “Let’s Go Viral!” workshop in-a-box kits. The kit includes the exact same game we will be hosting, with instructions and supplies; you just have to provide the prizes.
