SUMMARY:Selection of Surfaces: Strategic Support for Infection Prevention – ISSA Cleaning & Hygiene Expo 2025
DESCRIPTION:Healthcare and aged care environments face some of the toughest challenges when it comes to infection prevention. Despite rigorous cleaning and disinfection protocols, harmful microbes often persist—and in many cases, the very process of cleaning can unknowingly damage surfaces, creating hidden microbial reservoirs.\nThis interactive workshop goes beyond traditional cleaning practices to uncover the critical, yet often overlooked, role that surface selection plays in infection control. Attendees will explore the science behind microbes, surfaces, and the spread of healthcare-associated infections (HAIs), and gain insights into how smarter material choices can transform cleaning outcomes.\nWith practical examples, cutting-edge research, and an interactive Q&A, this session will empower healthcare and aged care professionals to rethink their approach—from procurement to daily cleaning strategies.\nKey Takeaways:\n\nDiscover how surfaces influence the transmission of deadly pathogens.\nUnderstand the difference between Antibiotic Resistance and Antimicrobial Resistance.\nLearn why better cleaning alone won’t solve the HAI challenge.\nUnpack the limitations of IFUs and their impact on frontline staff.\nGain actionable strategies to evaluate surfaces and products that truly support infection prevention.\n\nJoin us to shift the conversation from cleaning harder to cleaning smarter—and walk away with new tools to strengthen hygiene practices in healthcare and aged care settings.\nRegister Now\nThis workshop is taking place at the ISSA Cleaning and Hygiene Expo at the International Convention Centre (ICC) Sydney.\n
