Keeping Healthcare Water Safe - Challenges

Keeping Healthcare Water Safe - Challenges will cover topics that are still proving to be a challenge for estate managers, infection prevention and control teams, Water Safety Groups, water treatment and risk assessment providers, specialist water safety advisors, Authorising Engineers (water), and microbiologists. Speakers who are recognized experts in their field will discuss the difficulties in managing the conflict between managing water temperature in healthcare premises to prevent infections versus the risk of scalding. With the prevention of waterborne infections continuing to be an ongoing challenge, the panel will debate the essential role of Water Safety Plans and Water Safety Groups to keep our healthcare water safe, especially in relation to waterborne pathogens.
