Recent EPIC2 conferences

London, Bristol, Birmingham and Manchester hosted what has turned out to be a remarkable set of free study days that examined the practical aspects of implementing EPIC2, Saving Lives and ANTT.

This national program was developed jointly by the Infection Prevention Society and Thames Valley University. On behalf of all the speakers, sponsors and conference organizers I would like to thank the audience at each venue. Your involvement, interest and interaction made a world of difference… thank you.

I would also personally like to take this opportunity to thank the conference organizers ‘Fitwise‘ for managing a roadshow of logistical mammoth proportions with apparent ease and professionalism throughout. Also, I must thank the sponsors, without whom this event would not have taken place. The sponsors include Enturia, BBraun, 3M, Daniels Healthcare, Ecolab, Fannin Healthcare, G+N Medical, Tealwash, Vernacare and Royal Navy.

Finally, I am pleased to offer a link to the Harage (2007) Zero CRBSI article discussed at the study days and the link to the Association of Vascular Access ‘SAVE that line’ train the trainer online program.
