In many places (e.g. in New South Wales, Australia), speech pathologists in private practice must have an infection control policy.
This policy template covers basic precautions for staff and others when potentially exposed to infection risks, including good hand hygiene practices.
It also includes management guidelines for a variety of infection risks, including non-reusable equipment, soiled clothing, toys and therapy equipment.
