This webinar is being delivered in partnership with Thermo Fisher Scientific.
The successful implementation of in vitro diagnostics (IVDs) for infection management depends not only on the performance of the tests themselves, but also on how diagnostic information influences clinical decision-making and antimicrobial prescribing. This webinar will explore the practical challenges and opportunities associated with embedding IVDs into routine hospital care, examining the behavioural, organisational, and clinical factors that shape their adoption and impact. The session will also consider the implications of emerging national guidance.
The speaker will be Dr Luke Moore, consultant in infectious diseases and clinical microbiology at Chelsea and Westminster Hospital NHS Foundation Trust. This event will be chaired by Professor Angharad Davies, RCPath Clinical Director for Publishing and Engagement.
A Q&A will follow the talks.
