Infection Control Matters

Posters from the 2025 Innovation Academy at ICPIC and from the UK IPS Conference


Listen Later

In this episode, Brett and Martin discuss a few posters that interested them from recent major infection prevention conferences.


Brett was at the ICPIC Conference in Geneva and found plenty of interest in the Innovation academy. 

  1. Tracing hand pathogen transmission with and without hand hygiene with a newly developed DNA-encapsulating Lipid Nanoparticle system 
  2. Innovative FFP2 procedural mask for safer high-risk procedures
  3. A new medical mask made of filtering, transparent and ecofriendly material
  4. AI for healthcare-associated infection
  5. Martin was on his travels as well and recorded a few discussions with poster presenters at the 2025 Infection Prevention Society conference at Brighton in the south of the UK (more in the next episode). On this occasion he spoke to Frances Butson from the IPC Team at Gloucester Hospitals NHS Foundation Trust in the UK. We discussed a new approach to providing the hospital board with assurance of best practice by having 'bottom-up' local assessments rather than using a more traditional IPC team approach. Additionally, to foster better communications in the organisation the team there have a local podcast called IPC In Action, which can be found here: https://shows.acast.com/ipc-in-action-podcast and also on Youtube etc.

    The poster can be found here
