This Insight Webinar hosted by IPC Partners in partnership with the the Healthcare Infection Society (HIS) and Infection Prevention Society (IPS) will focus on genomic surveillance and IPC. Genomic surveillance offers powerful potential benefits for IPC, enabling early detection of outbreaks, tracking transmission pathways, and informing targeted interventions. This session features two focused sessions covering the principles and all-important practicalities of genomic surveillance for IPC. Dr Alexander Sundermann will begin with an overview of the principles behind genomic surveillance, the evidence generated so far, and explaining its role in IPC. Following this, Dr James Price will delve into the practical aspects, including implementation strategies and real-world applications in healthcare settings. Join us for an insightful exploration of how genomic technologies can strengthen IPC programmes and improve patient safety. Dr Phil Norville and Dr Jon Otter will co-chair the session and facilitate the audience-led Q&A. We hope that you can join us!
