HIS 2010 - Seventh International Conference of the Hospital Infection Society (HIS 2010)

We are delighted to invite you to participate in the Seventh International Conference of the Hospital Infection Society (HIS 2010) which takes place 10 ? 13 October 2010. The Seventh Conference follows on from the successful meetings in Amsterdam (2006) and Edinburgh (2002), which attracted over a 1000 infection control practitioners from around the globe.

The conference is being held in Liverpool, one of Britain’s most vibrant and cosmopolitan cities at the newly built BT Convention Centre which is situated in the heart of Liverpool on the historic, world heritage waterfront.

The conference takes place every four years and is the major international conference focusing on infection control. It is internationally recognised as the most important infection prevention and control conference in Europe and attracts leading world experts in healthcare associated infections as speakers and delegates. It provides a unique opportunity for everyone involved to learn the latest developments in this rapidly expanding and changing field. As well as an excellent scientific programme covering topics such as infection prevention and control, epidemiology and surveillance, decontamination and new technologies, to name a few there will also be an opportunity for delegates to speak with companies with a particular interest in nosocomial or hospital acquired / healthcare associated infections.

We are looking forward to a very successful conference - one which reflects the organisers’ strategy of mixing science with industry to create one integral event in which the needs of delegates as well as the commercial companies are fully met.

We hope that you will consider supporting this prestigious International Conference, and look forward to seeing you in Liverpool.
