Central Sterilising Club Autumn Study Day 2024
14 October 2024 | Birmingham, UK
With new pressures on all healthcare providers, the 2024 CSC Autumn Study Day investigates issues that are currently at the forefront managing healthcare associated infections, in a world full of competing priorities. Are there lessons to be learnt from the past? Are we still fighting the same old battles? Where are the risks and are we going over the top with our processes? Do we need to change our focus and behaviour?
Autumn Study Day 2024 sees the introduction of an exciting new feature, a fully interactive debate in the afternoon. This year’s debate will discuss implementation of new training and education requirements, using technology to ensure full audience participation in the debate.
The event concludes by wetting the appetite for the 2025 Annual Scientific Meeting debate, posing questions on current validation protocols, are we putting too much emphasis on validation tests, should we be carrying out more relevant tests and does any reduction in standards leave us exposed as an organisation?
