Event Description

Horizons in Hospital-Acquired Infections



Nexxus and the UK Sensors and Instrumentation Knowledge Transfer Network (SIKTN) have organised an event to examine opportunities arising from the hospital-acquired infections challenge.

The legacy of previous infection-control practice and inappropriate antibiotic use has led to the demand to control hospital-acquired infections. Although improving, the situation still presents a pressing need for even better solutions in the clinic. This demand creates opportunities to innovate new solutions. Growth in international commitment will identify and develop new anti-infective medicines in coming years, but we must also meet the immediate need for effective diagnostics and infection control.

This joint meeting explores opportunities arising from hospital-acquired infections, especially for diagnostics and infection control as ways to manage infection risk. Attendees will hear from the clinical front-line, and from researchers and businesses developing new technologies to help. As with all Nexxus events, you will have ample opportunity to network and find ways to apply your knowledge to address the challenge.

Date: 21 April 2010
Time: 13.00 - 19.00
Venue: Chancellor's Building
49 Little France Crescent
Edinburgh
EH16 4SB
