Annual conferences bring together IP professionals, researchers, policymakers, and other stakeholders.
Conferences allow participants to learn about the latest advances, strategies, and technologies in infection prevention and control, as well as share knowledge and experience with each other.
The latest research presented at conferences helps professionals implement new approaches, while various practical sessions provide participants with the opportunity to deepen their knowledge and skills in specific IPC issues.
Conferences promote collaboration between representatives of different fields — doctors, nurses, public health specialists, infection control and other professionals — to discuss IPC challenges and share ideas, which plays an important role in integrating measures into daily practice.
New models and strategies aimed at improving IPC are often developed and discussed within the framework of the activities; these strategies may include new policies, processes and protocols that impact the health system.
The conferences also include discussions on global and regional challenges, such as antimicrobial resistance, infection prevention during pandemics, and other topical topics.
