Cleaning, disinfection, and sterilization are essential elements of infection prevention and control (IPC) programs in all healthcare settings and are critical in preventing the spread of harmful microorganisms. COVID-19 has made these topics even more important and have cast a light on how critical these are in keeping you, your patients, and your facilities safe from infection.
This event was designed for IPs looking to gain knowledge in these three areas that are critical to being an effective partner in your facility. Learn, grow, and network—all in a condensed, 2-day virtual format. Our educational sessions will increase your fundamental knowledge and provide practical skills you need to protect patients in your facility.
The Cleaning Disinfection and Sterilization (CDS) Conference brings together infection preventionists for insightful discussions around the most pressing issues relating to cleaning, disinfection and sterilization in a virtual environment. You have the unique opportunity to advance your knowledge and skills, learn about effective practice, and build your network with a diverse community of IP professionals.
This conference gives you access to interactive learning with leading experts in your field and engage invaluable peer-to-peer networking and discussion around the IPC issues and challenges you face every day.
