This workshop aims to provide training to healthcare workers on infection prevention and control (IPC) practices in relation to reducing antimicrobial resistance (AMR) transmission within the hospital environment. It is aimed at healthcare workers in low and middle income countries.
It will cover the basics of IPC and AMR, including common resistant pathogens, the practical applications within the hospital environment, waste management and disinfection, and an introduction to surveillance and stewardship.
Each of these sections will be reinforced with discussion sessions, which will include comparing IPC policies between countries, root cause analysis, the barriers to implementation evaluation and infection control case studies.
Join the discussion group to start connecting and sharing with other delegates.
