Our DIPC network and development days are one-day events that provide information, guidance and training around Healthcare Associated Infections (HCAI) and a chance to network with key Integrated Personal Commissioning (IPC) professionals.

The one-day programmes include speaker presentations, discussion sessions and a networking opportunity in order to:

• Allow the sharing of experience and knowledge
• Act as a forum for bringing together DIPCs who are both microbiologists and non-microbiologists
• Facilitate future research and collaboration
• Narrow the knowledge gap for those with differing clinical background

WHO SHOULD ATTEND?

Current or aspiring Directors of Infection Control (DIPCs) and Deputy DIPCs, or those in a similar role irrespective of professional background.
