Pseudomonas addendum

The Royal Society for Public Health 

28 Portland Place, London, W1B 1LY

An essential update exploring and debating the new Department of Health report

A one day conference and networking opportunity

This meeting will explore and debate the new Department of Health Pseudomonas aeruginosa advice concerned with controlling and minimising the risks associated with water outlets.

There is a tendency to assume that water in healthcare premises is clean and presents no risks to health. Unfortunately there can be appreciable deterioration in quality between the point where water is supplied to a building and its point of use. Innovations intended to encourage hand washing and decrease scalding risks may inadvertently cause increased risks from water, including infections by Pseudomonas aeruginosa.

This meeting will address how problems can be managed and prevented by collaboration between infection control, estates teams and hospital engineers.
