As in previous trips please note that:
1. It is entirely self-funded
2. You must be prepared to lecture on 1 or 2 topics and take part in seminars/workshops
3. Partners/spouses (self funding) welcome.
If you are interested in joining the tour or would like more information when available and to put together a programme please forward a short CV and topics you are happy to speak on to
Sue Hollinshead at [email protected] 020 7713 0273.
Suggested topics include:
o MRSA
o ESBLs
o Acinetobacters (? in ITU)

o Multi resistant TB
o Fungal infections in hospital
o Waste management
o Operating Theatres
o Processing of endoscopes and other articles
o Reprocessing of single use devices (a practice that is routine in Brazil � probably not done in the UK but a very important discussion in poor countries)
o Infection control perspectives: the government X the Hospital
o Simplified microbiology for developing countries
o Education of infection control professional
o How to apply for National (or Government) recommendations
