In another special edition from ICPIC, Martin talks to An Caluwaerts, IPC Specialist from Kliniek Sint Jan, Brussels. This was a poster presentation that was selected as part of a poster walk and it is a practical piece of work that describes the process of calculating the number of staff (and hours) needed to clean a standard hospital ward. A copy of the poster can be downloaded below.

Year in Infection Control - papers selected by Prof Andreas Voss at ICPIC 2021

We are a group of professionals who work in the field of infectious disease and infection prevention and control. In this podcast series, we discuss new research and issues on the topic of infection prevention and control. We will pick new papers of interest and will discuss them, often with an author of the paper who can give us some insights into the research that go beyond the written paper. We are unfunded and do not accept solicitations from companies or marketeers.Authors will include nurses, doctors, academics, clinicians, administrators and leaders.We should stress that all of our comments relate to our own opinions and that they do not necessarily reflect those institutions and employers that we relate to.We welcome comment, suggestions and ideas.
