PALS IPC Trainer Handbook

Abstract

The Trainer Handbook is designed to stimulate and help participants of the PALS IPC Training of Trainers to deepen their understanding of the “Participatory Approach to Learning in Systems (PALS)” and of the didactic competences required to train and mentor others in the translation of PALS into practice. It presents the PALS concept for improvement in infection prevention and control in health facilities and describes its theoretical underpinnings, gives an overview on communication and collaboration methods and models which help to translate PALS into various practice contexts and offers Trainers a practical toolbox with tools and exercises that are used in PALS trainings.
