Two day implementation workshop to examine how to establish infection control programmes in healthcare settings

Dr Raheelah Ahmad, Lead in Healthcare Management and NIHR Knowledge Mobilisation Fellow at the NIHR Health Protection Research Unit (HPRU) in HCAI and AMR is co-hosting the prestigious 4^th Implementation Course in Geneva alongside Professor Didier Pittet and Dr Walter Zingg.

There is overwhelming evidence that practice change successfully reduces healthcare-associated infections. The implementation of such multidisciplinary and multimodal programmes however, is challenging. The objective of this course is to provide theoretical concepts and practice case studies about how to establish infection control programmes in healthcare settings.

HPRU Director Professor Alison Holmes will open the course on the first day and speak on Patient safety and infection control.

Dr Ahmad will also be presenting on Managing diverging interests and agendas in the hospital.

The course runs over two days on the 6^th and 7^th October and participants will be coming from the UK & Europe, Russia, Vietnam, Singapore and India.
