International Infection Prevention Week 13-19 October 2024

Infection Preventionists (IPs) play a crucial role in keeping the public safe and healthy, protecting us from surges in healthcare-associated infections and many other infectious threats.

International Infection Prevention Week (IIPW) was established in 1986 to shine a light on infection prevention every year. It promotes better infection prevention & control (IPC) practices and recognises the efforts of all IPC professionals to reduce the risk of infection. 

The 2024 week runs from 13-19 October and the theme is “Moving the Needle on Infection Prevention.”
