Celebrate World Hand Hygiene Day!

World Hand Hygiene Day takes place on the 5 May as part of efforts to tackle transmission of healthcare associated infections (HCAIs). The World Health Organization points out that HCAIs are among the most frequent adverse events occurring in the context of health service delivery - 136 million cases of HCAI antibiotic resistant infections occur worldwide every year.

Hand hygiene saves millions of lives every year when performed at the right times in healthcare, while across the 34 OECD and EU/EEA countries, investing US$ 1 in improving hand hygiene in healthcare settings returns about US$ 24.6 in economic returns (i.e. both in health expenditure and productivity gains in the broader economy).

The objectives of World Hand Hygiene Day 2024 are:

• Strengthen learning approaches to enable implementation of innovative and effective training to empower health and care workers to improve hand hygiene and IPC at point of care with enhanced knowledge, skills and behaviours.
•  Promote access to innovative hand hygiene and IPC training resources for health and care workers. 
• Raise awareness about the importance of knowledge and learning on hand hygiene at the right times to prevent a range of infectious diseases. 
• Encourage measurement and evaluation mechanisms to assess the impact of training and education on IPC standards and practices including hand hygiene, including their effect on the prevention of HCAI and AMR.

This CSJ e-Newsletter provides some useful resources and information aimed at driving improvement in hand hygiene – from links to educational webinars, details of hand hygiene solutions and innovations, educational articles aimed at raising awareness of best practice and links to WHO resources.  

This conference will provide delegates with the opportunity to hear from key speakers on a variety of subjects affecting theatres and decontamination science personnel. The programme will inform and educate delegates on subjects that affect their everyday life all of which will help contribute to the safety and care of our patients.

This annual one-day conference  provides new insights into issues that are being talked about in real-time, today. The conference agenda has been developed by Theatre Managers and Decontamination Leads.

There will be plenty of networking opportunities throughout the day with the chance to meet with NPAG Operating Theatres and Decontamination members who have achieved success and savings through productive benchmarking.

In addition to the educational component of the day, this event will highlight products and services of commercial companies and how they can aid in the everyday, working lives of our delegates.

The EBME Expo is an independent educational event bringing together healthcare professionals who are responsible for the management of medical equipment. These healthcare professionals are involved in areas such as procurement, maintenance, user training, and managing inventories.
