In 2017 the theme of the event was ‘The Role of Surfaces in Cross Transmission of Infection’ and the event was held at the Royal College of Paediatrics and Child Health
The structure of the day and the remit of the network was developed based on the results of a survey that was distributed through a variety of professional bodies and networks.
Meetings are structured with a number of lecture based sessions in the morning slot and case studies in the afternoon (see the case studies page for the case studies from all meetings).
The set up of the day focusses on shared learning and network development, so we can help support each other across the challenges that the environment can present.
