Supporting Community Health, the final HCAIs themed event for 2013, will focus on the systems and practices in place to reaffirm the Government's commitment to achieving zero tolerance for all healthcare Associated Infections. It will explore the impacts that infection rates have on community health, and the pivotal role that acute care institutions have in their reduction.

This event will focus on the processes and technologies currently in place to reduce healthcare acquired infections, from the simple hand hygiene to cutting edge technology, asking how we can ensure those working in the community care setting can take advantage of both, and reduce the number of cases.
