Infection Control Game

The Infection Control Game takes place in a virtual ward and simulates the challenges of a norovirus outbreak. A video shows a day on Burton Ward, where players work together to identify signs of an outbreak and prevent it. If they fail, they must handle the consequences of closing the ward. As the game progresses, the video presents new challenges that players manage through the board game.

This hands-on game helps players learn about infection prevention and control. By interacting with a simulated ward, players connect what they learn to real-life situations. The game encourages teams to think about how they handle infections, promotes teamwork, and builds confidence in managing outbreaks.
