Free Webinar: Surface to patient… evidence-based insights on the spread of pathogens and AMR
Healthcare facilities constantly battle Healthcare Acquired Infections caused by multi-drug resistant organisms (MDRO). This webinar, co-hosted by GAMA Healthcare and ACIPC, delves into the critical role of environmental surfaces in transmission and explores evidence-based strategies for reducing HAIs to fight AMR.
Presented by Professor David Weber, Professor of Medicine, Paediatrics and Epidemiology, Associate Chief Medical Officer of UNC Health Care, and Director of Regulatory Services for the North Carolina Translational and Clinical Sciences Institute (NC TraCS), the Webinar will take place on 13th August 2024, from 11am-12pm (AEST).
Participation will give delegates the opportunity to:
* Understand the role of contaminated surfaces in HAI transmission within hospitals and long-term care facilities
* Explore the risk of acquiring MDRO from colonised patients' rooms
* Examine the relationship between environmental microbial burden and HAI rates
* Learn methods to quantify bacterial transfer events between patients and their environment
* Gain evidence-based recommendations for patient room cleaning and disinfection protocols to reduce HAIs
* Learn about disinfectants and antiseptics: tolerance, resistance and potential impact on antibiotic resistance
“Together, let's improve infection prevention compliance and build a stronger defence against AMR,” say the organisers.
