DRIPP Workshop: Moving Forward

Join us for a practical, interactive workshop on Wednesday 18th March focused on advancing best practice in device-related infection prevention. The DRIPP: Moving Forward event brings together experts from across healthcare to share evidence, insights, DRIPP resources, and hands-on learning to reduce vascular access devices and urinary catheters associated infections.

Explore key topics including the NHS 10-year plan, sustainability in infection prevention, value-based procurement, and more. Network with peers, take part in an engaging escape room activity, and learn how collaborative approaches are shaping safer, more sustainable care.

This event is ideal for infection prevention and control professionals, vascular access specialists, policy and continence practitioners, clinical educators, healthcare leaders, and anyone involved in reducing device-related infections in clinical settings.
