Elizabeth is a seasoned Registered Nurse with over 15 years of experience, combining a strong clinical background with a deep passion for education and Infection Prevention and Control (IPC). After qualifying with a Bachelor of Nursing (BCur) from the University of Stellenbosch in 2006, she began her career with a focus on mentorship and clinical facilitation, laying the foundation for her ongoing dedication to professional development within healthcare. Her interest in IPC led her to complete a Postgraduate Diploma in Infection Control (Cum Laude) in 2017, also at the University of Stellenbosch, following an earlier Postgraduate Diploma in Nursing Education in 2011. Elizabeth has held roles as an IPC Manager and, more recently, as the Training Coordinator for the IPDIC at ICAN, where she designs and delivers training programmes aimed at strengthening IPC practices across healthcare settings. She has also facilitated training for ICAN’s FIPC programme since 2018. In addition to her teaching and leadership roles, Elizabeth currently serves as Chairperson of the Infection Control Society of Southern Africa (ICSSA). Her commitment to excellence and education continues to make a meaningful impact on infection control standards nationally.
