Dear Colleagues,Welcome back to Geneva for the 6th International Conference on Prevention & Infection Control 2021!

After the challenging past 18 months through the COVID-19 pandemic, the need to bring together the global IPC community became even stronger.

The conference offers a unique forum for participants to exchange knowledge and experience in the prevention of healthcare-associated infections and control of antimicrobial resistance around the world, with an innovative

twist this year since we are a hybrid conference!

The most resonating topics will be addressed including IPC in the context of the COVID-19 pandemic, antimicrobial resistance, catheter-related bloodstream infection, quality of patient care, advanced methods in hospital epidemiology research and early results of major studies in the field, improving prevention strategies

using various implementation tools as well as social media, telemedicine, and simulation models.

ICPIC is collaborating with various international agencies and societies to mobilize even more world experts and key opinion leaders to share their knowledge and expertise, including (among others) the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), the Society for Healthcare Epidemiology of America (SHEA) and the World Health

Organization (WHO).

The long-standing tradition of ICPIC is continuing through ICPIC keynotes, symposia, Pro-Con debates, free-papers and meet-the-expert sessions, without mentioning the unique and very popular ICPIC Innovation

Academy and ICPIC Clip Award.

For the first time this year, ICPIC has accepted late breaking abstracts. Do not miss this slide session on Wednesday 15 September!

We’re very glad to have you at this conference and wish you a successful and fruitful experience !

MOVIE PROJECTION : COLLECTIVE BY ALEXANDER NANAU

Investigative journalists uncover massive fraud in the Romanian health care system revealing the price of corruption and ultimately, the price of truth.

SynopsisIn 2015, a fire at Bucharest’s Colectiv club leaves 27 dead and 180 injured. Soon, more burn victims begin dying in hospitals from wounds that were not life-threatening. Then a doctor blows the whistle to a team of investigative journalists. One revelation leads to another as the journalists start to uncover vast health care fraud. When a new health minister is appointed, he offers unprecedented access to his efforts to reform the corrupt system but also to the obstacles he faces. Following journalists, whistle-blowers, burn victims, and government officials, Collective is an uncompromising look at the impact of investigative journalism at its best.

“If at first, the idea is not absurd, then there is no hope for it. Innovation is not the product of logical thought, although the result is tied to logical structure.” Albert Einstein, Physicist and Nobel Laureate, who spoke often of innovation and creativity

What is the “Innovation Academy”?The Innovation Academy is a unique opportunity to allow investigators and participants at ICPIC 2021 to participate in a forum which brings together thought leaders in the area of innovations in the practice of infection control and prevention of antimicrobial resistance. First introduced at ICPIC 2011 in an Infection Prevention and Control Meeting, the Innovation Academy is an exciting opportunity for all attendees. The Innovation Academy brings together experts from diverse fields that can interact during the planned symposium, the investigator presentations, a social event and a final presentation and awarding of three “Innovation Awards of Excellence” which will be judged by the International Jury of Experts of the Academy. The Awards will consist of a certificate, a cash prize and a trophy. Importantly, since 2011, all winners of the Academy Award have become companies in the following years. Don’t miss the opportunity to discover the most innovative approaches of tomorrow’s infection prevention and control.

Why should there be an “Innovation Academy”?The word innovation has its roots in Latin, stemming from innovatus which means to renew or change and although innovation may be seen as a renewal process, it requires a new way of applying decisions or a new application of an existing discovery. It is an important concept in business, economics, engineering, technology and design and is becoming more important in the area of medicine as well. The objective of the Academy is to provide a collaborative interaction between infection control professionals and antimicrobial resistance experts, design experts, technology leaders and business entrepreneurs.

When will the Innovation Academy be held?

“Just as energy is the basis of life itself, and ideas the source of innovation, so is innovation the vital spark of all human change, improvement and progress“. Theodore Levitt, Economist and author of “Globalization of Markets“

SEMMELWEIS AT ICPIC

Semmelweis at ICPICThe story of Ignaz Semmelweis’ struggle to introduce hand hygiene to the Vienna General Hospital holds a special place in the heart of many infection control professionals. His pioneering use of epidemiology, his determined pursuit of an infection prevention intervention and his vigorous championing of patient safety mean that - despite his faults – he remains an inspiration to those who follow.

Semmelweis Day - Thursday 16 september 2021This session involves internationally renowned infection control experts presenting their own experiences and opinions regarding hand hygiene promotion. What are the key ingredients to a successful campaign? What does the future hold for hand hygiene? How to achieve excellence in hand hygiene at institutional level?
