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.
