Hand drying - a lot of hot air?

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.
