In this week's episode Brett MItchell and Martin Kiernan talk to Julie Storr. Julie is a consultant to the WHO who originally started her infection prevention career in Oxford in the UK. We hear how Julie was motivated by patient stories of isolation and virtual imprisonment in elderly care settings to try and bring compassion into play, supported by sound infection prevention principles

Compassion and Infection Prevention - Not mutually exclusive!

We are a group of professionals who work in the field of infectious disease and infection prevention and control. We focus on infections that are acquired through healthcare contacts and interventions. We all love talking about our subject, as all in our field do.

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. 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.
