This conference is being organised in association with the Infection Prevention Society.

The annual Don’t panic! conference takes a practical approach to current infection control issues and will be of interest to microbiologists, infection control practitioners, public health staff and biomedical scientists working in this area.

The 2019 programme will include sessions on:

• What to do about CPEs (or not) 
• Sequencing – from theory to practice 
• The role of behaviour in IPC and AMS 

This meeting has been approved by the Royal College of Pathologists for 5 CPD credits.

Abstract submission is now closed.  The presenting authors of accepted oral communication abstracts will be awarded free registration to attend the conference.
