Entries to Oxoid’s 2008/2009 Infection Control Team of the Year Awards have now closed. The Awards, with a first prize of £5000, and second and third prizes of £1000 and £500, respectively, are held in association with the Infection Prevention Society. Initiated by Oxoid in 2003, the Awards recognise and reward the dedicated teams of infection control microbiologists, infection control nurses and doctors who, each day, strive to prevent or reduce rates of hospital-acquired infection and improve infection control procedures, making hospitals safer places for patients, staff and visitors alike.
The Awards are judged by a panel drawn from the International Association of Infection Control, the Hospital Infection Society, the Infection Prevention Society (previously the Infection Control Nurses Association) together with renowned infection control professionals and representatives from Oxoid.
Entry details are available from local Oxoid representatives or can be found on the company’s website, where there is also more information about previous Award winners.
