Patricia Ching
"Infection prevention and control has multiple roles within an organization and should be embedded in all areas.Patricia Ching's career has been shaped by a quote she heard from one of her early mentors, "Infection control saves lives." Patricia went on to enter the infection control field after 10 years of working in the Intensive Care Unit, and has been a key opinion leader in IV management since the early 1980s. In 1985, the Department of Health in Hong Kong mandated 14 government hospitals to establish an Infection Control Unit (ICU). Patricia was one of the first ICU nurses brought on board.
In addition to her many published works on infection control, she also founded a leading infection prevention association and was president of an infection control nurses' association - all while helping to inspire innovation in the IV care space.
