A large single-purpose group will not be deterred.

The NZNO National Division of Infection Control Nurses

The NDICN was formed as a special interest section of the New Zealand Nurses Organisation some 30 years ago, in the 1970s.

From small beginnings when the role of an Infection Control Nurse was a pioneer role within nursing and indeed before infection control programmes were entrenched into health care organisations to the current day.

Today we boast a large membership and have many highly skilled infection prevention & control nurses amongst us. The infection prevention & control nurse role has evolved into a highly specialised role with a job description scope that covers almost all aspects of health care delivery.

New Zealand infection prevention & control programmes are supported formally through the New Zealand Standard NZS8134.3.1:2008

The NDICN hosts an annual or biennial conference and accompanying Annual General Meeting. The Division is represented by it's National Committee which meets regularly to conduct Division business. (Click here to see the current committee )
