  They are highly suitable for onboarding, continuing education, and for increasing awareness and encouraging discussion about standard infection prevention practices in the workplace. The videos include Icelandic subtitles and use clear visual storytelling, making them accessible to staff and to a diverse workforce whose first language is not Icelandic.

  Video Invisible Challenge I was produced by Bispebjerg and Frederiksberg Hospital, Denmark, and Invisible Challenge II and III by the Norwegian Institute of Public Health. All videos were created by Martin G. Pedersen // MP Film.
