[Risk bloodborne infections in health care workers].

The paper presents current data on epidemiology and risk factors responsible for incidents leading to blood-borne infections among health care workers. In many countries, the number of this type of incidents has markedly decreased, whereas in Poland blood-borne infections are still a serious problem. Unfortunately, the circumstances, in which such incidences happen, are frequently caused by oversight and typical mistakes. The problem also lies in that not all cases are regularly reported. Therefore, it is essential to draw special attention to under- and post-graduate programs covering all medical professions, in which the problem of occupational and hospital infections should be an obligatory element of training.

[Adverse side effects from the use of dental materials and compounds].

Discussing adverse side effects of the use of dental materials and auxiliary products used in dentistry, dentist and patients should be considered as two different groups at risk. Many of the products are chemically and biologically reactive which may lead to unwanted side effects. For the dental profession there is a risk of occupational exposure to certain products, which may result in toxicity reactions. Occupational skin contact with certain chemical compounds in wet work may facilitate hypersensitivity reactions. To avoid adverse side effects, regulations have been formulated in order to protect personal. Patients may have only a minor risk of toxicity reactions due to exposure. Hypersensitivity reactions, however, occur rather often. Different risk of dentist and patients is mainly due to the route of exposure and exposure time.

[Curriculum development in speech-language therapy and audiology: basis and principles].

The aim of this article is to discuss some of the important issues that form the basis of curriculum development for education in speech-language therapy and audiology. The demands of the profession are such that a horizontal occupational structure is no longer adequate in the multicultural, multilingual RSA context. It is therefore necessary to investigate alternative educational options to accommodate current needs. These may include diploma training for technicians, certificate programmes for community rehabilitation workers and professionally directed masters courses. It is also apparent that the professional functions of the speech-language therapist and audiologist have extended to the point where aspects such as computer literacy, management functions, community work and consultation should play a greater role in the curriculum than is the case at present.
