Are You Worried About Controlling the Spread of Infection Within Hospitals?
Limiting the spread of infections such as MRSA within hospitals has become a hugely important issue both politically and within the medical profession. Everyone from hospital architects, to facilities managers and surgeons need to know about this important issue and how you can protect patients.
(PRWEB) April 16, 2005
The Institution of Mechanical Engineers is working with the Hospital Infection Society to explore this important issue. There are representatives of NHS, Health and Safety Laboratory, HIS and various accademic institutions ensuring a comprehensive and balanced debate highlighting the problems and solutions from a variety of viewpoints.
Hospital Infection Control
1 day seminar - 13 June 2005
One Birdcage Walk, London, UK
This seminar will focus on the subject of infection control, through engineering, in hospitals. It will cover indoor air quality, ventilation, cooling systems, design and operation of hospital rooms, and decontamination and sterilisation of equipment, through real-world case studies.
The presentations will be of particular interest and value to hospital architects, building services engineers, facilities managers, surgeons, nurses, hygiene specialists, specialist equipment manufacturers and suppliers, and any one else with an interest in infection control within hospitals.
In particular the event will provide:
•Insight into the solutions offered by new technologies and systems to infection control challenges.
•Ideas for improved design and operation of clean rooms and infection control equipment.
•Updates on the latest research in hospital acquired infection and its control.
•Detailed analysis of hygiene control and optimisation in operating theatres.
