Addressing challenges associated with adoption & implementation of new technologies to fight Healthcare Associated Infections

Around 1 in 20 (6%) of patients are affected by preventable harm in medical care, of which around 12% causes permanent disability or death, according to a study published by The BMJ. These infections are contracted by an estimated 1.7 million patients annually and responsible for 99,000 deaths each year.

Preventing disease and controlling spread of resistant bacteria is of major importance when tackling antibiotic resistance. Already, AMR infections are estimated to cause 700,000 deaths each year globally, which is predicted to rise to 10 million, alongside a cumulative cost of $100 trillion, by 2020 if no action is taken.

Our speaker panel will address challenges associated with adoption & implementation of new technologies to fight Healthcare Associated Infections, gathering global hospitals presenting case studies, technologies and innovations to fight possibilities of HAIs.

The congress will attract Directors, Heads, Doctors, Nurses, Consultants, Clinical Lead, Deputy Manager from Infection Control, Sterilization, Decontamination and Endoscopy departments across UK and Europe.

• Case Studies from industry peers from UK & Europe
• Panel Discussion on enhancing staff skills for manual cleaning
• New developments in effective protein removal from surgical instruments
• Effective steps on antimicrobial prescribing
• Reprocessing of flexible endoscope
• Implementing guidelines on air and water decontamination
