    Live episode! Infection control and environmental challenges

    Join Gemma Winzor (Editor in Chief, Infection Prevention in Practice) and Nik Mahida (Editor in Chief, Journal of Hospital Infection) live from FIS/HIS International 2022, as they talk with guests about how environmental factors impact infection control practice. Christine Peters (Queen Elizabeth University Hospital, Glasgow) discusses two cases of Mycobacterium chelonae infection in haemato-oncology patients, using whole-genome sequencing and a potential link to the hospital water supply. Katie Prescott (Nottingham University Hospitals NHS Trust) outlines an outbreak of New Delhi Metallo-Beta-lactamase Carbapenemase Producing Enterobaterales on a bone marrow transplant unit, and the role of environment in the outbreaks. Peter Kinnevey (Trinity College Dublin) discusses MRSA and MSSA among healthcare workers, patients and the environment, and answers questions about healthcare working testing.  Episode links Inkster et al.

    Contact precautions and multidrug resistant microorganisms

    Gemma Winzor talks with Gonzalo Bearman (Professor of Infectious Diseases at Virginia Commonwealth University, Editor in Chief of Antimicrobial Stewardship & Healthcare Epidemiology) about his work on contact precautions for the control of endemic multidrug resistant organisms in healthcare settings. The conversation takes in the importance of horizontal and vertical IPC measures, adverse outcomes associated with isolation and contact precautions, cost-savings and customer satisfaction, and the research still to be done in the field.

    IPC challenges in low-income settings

    In this episode of Infection Prevention in Conversation, Gemma talks to Gwendoline L. Chimhini, Lecturer in Child and Adolescent Health at the University of Zimbabwe Faculty of Medicine and Health Sciences and Felicity Fitzgerald, NIHR Academic Clinical Lecturer in Paediatric Infectious Diseases, working between UCL Great Ormond Street Institute of Child Health and the Biomedical Research and Training Institute in Harare, Zimbabwe. Today we will be discussing the challenges for infection prevention and control professionals working in lower-income settings, the challenges and innovations to be found in the neonatal ward Gwendoline manages in Zimbabwe, and the impact of the Neotree app, initially developed with a grant from the Healthcare Infection Society. “Before Neotree we were working in the dark. Now, we have switched on the light - at least we can see the room in which we are working.” - Gwendoline L. Chimhini Episode links: For more information on how to support Neotree, or work with them, please visit neotree.org. Could HIS support your next research project?
