DECON UK is back for 2024 following the success of the 2022 and 2023 events. A joint event by three major NHS Trusts, it provides valuable insights into decontamination and infection prevention – from fundamentals of decontamination to microbiological risks associated with laundry decontamination.

The Royal Wolverhampton NHS Trust, Walsall Healthcare NHS Trust and University Hospitals Birmingham NHS Foundation Trust jointly bring you DECON UK 2024, providing a high quality of educational content to delegates with a comprehensive programme covering water, air and sustainability.

Taking place at the National Conference Centre (NCC) in Birmingham on 17 April 2024, the event is FREE to healthcare professionals and is expected to host over 150 healthcare professionals from various fields within the decontamination sector.
