Pick of the papers
05/03/22 • 61 min
For the second episode of Infection Prevention in Conversation, Gemma Winzor is joined by the editors of the Journal of Hospital Infection, Jim Gray (Birmingham Women’s and Children’s Hospital) and Nik Mahida (Nottingham University Hospitals).
The group discuss five papers, linked via their titles below, and share their thoughts on how to work - and have difficult conversations with - colleagues from a range of departments, what we take for granted in infection control, and how the pandemic has brought IPC into focus worldwide.

Previous Episode
MRSA Guidelines: new evidence against an old adversary
With 'MRSA Guidelines: new evidence against an old adversary', we kick off our first mini-series of podcasts from the Healthcare Infection Society journals.
Dr Gemma Winzor (University Hospitals Birmingham; Editor in Chief Infection Prevention in Practice) chats about the recently published joint Healthcare Infection Society and Infection Prevention Society MRSA Guidelines.
Gemma is joined by three guideline authors and experts within the field of MRSA and infection prevention more broadly: Hilary Humphreys (Royal College of Surgeons in Ireland), Jennie Wilson (University of West London) and Lisa Butcher (Oxford University Hospitals NHS Foundation Trusts). The group talk decolonisation, future research directions and dirty mops.

Something in the water
'Something in the water' is the latest podcast from the Healthcare Infection Society journals.
Gemma Winzor (University Hospitals Birmingham; Editor in Chief Infection Prevention in Practice) is joined by two fantastic guests: Mike Weinbren (NHS England and NHS improvement) and Teresa Inkster, (NHS greater Glasgow and Clyde, NHS Assure, and HCAI Scotland).
The trio talk about the problems encountered in new-build healthcare facilities, training sub-specialties, and the infection prevention and control risks of water and waste water drains on augmented care - an area many find a bit daunting as it does not come up that often in day-to-day life as an infection control practitioner.
