Setting the standards for sterilisation

The Central Sterilising Club’s Annual Scientific Meeting takes place on16to17 April 2018 at the Marriott Hotel, Cardiff. With topics ranging from endoscope decontamination, staff training and transportation requirements, to washing optimisation, medical device equipment processing and tracking systems, the event provides expert advice on a broad range of infection prevention & control issues.

The Central Sterilising Club was founded in 1960 by a small group of enthusiastic individuals who were either working in sterile services departments or who were attempting to solve the many problems associated with developing safe methods for sterilising items in bulk. The first SSD was established in 1958 which sparked the interest and necessity to form the club. 

The early meetings were chaired by the late Professor Darmady, (senior pathologist at Portsmouth) and attended by medical and scientific experts. Many notable figures in the sterilisation/infection prevention field have been, or are, members of the club. The club continues to flourish 57 years on, and its strength is its multi-disciplinary membership, which spans many healthcare disciplines including: 

As well as individual personal members, the club has personal members within commercial companies and the companies themselves - as corporate members. This mix makes up a blend of skill, experience and acknowledged expertise and is involved in all aspects of sterilisation.
