It will be our pleasure and privilege to welcome you to the Infection Prevention Society conference #IP2018 to take place in Glasgow, Scotland, 30th September - 2 October 2018.

At this IPS Conference leading experts in their field will present on the latest current and emerging threats and state-of- the-art research to help improve your team, your practice and your patients’ / clients’ outcomes. There will be a comprehensive series of presentations, meet-the- expert sessions and specialist streams of: wound care, paediatric care, mental health, audit / surveillance and international engagement. Also, there will be one-day conferences dedicated to Infection Prevention in Care and at Home and for the first time Infection Prevention and Antimicrobial Resistance. (Delegates attending the main conferences will also enable entry to these specialist days).

Thought-provokingly and in a departure from previous years we will present the first ever Infection Prevention Show #IPShow2018. This exciting event on the 1st October will provide a platform for showcasing the latest innovational technologies and products. The audience will be able to interact with experts and personalities whilst learning of the exciting possibilities offered by these latest innovations.

Your Scientific Programme Committee (SPC) has prepared this conference in furtherance of the IPS Mission Statement: No patient is harmed by a preventable infection. Secondly, the programme has direct relevance to your practice; you will have learning opportunities that will motivate and inspire you to consider how your local infection prevention and control programmes could be modified to improve care and reduce infection risks. Finally, the conference is designed with you in mind. All presentations are mapped against the IPS competences to facilitate your personalised-development and career progression.

This is an exciting, educational and practice-enhancing conference. On behalf of the IP2018 SPC we look forward to seeing you along with your colleagues from around the globe and welcoming you all to Glasgow.

The IPS annual conference showcases the largest infection prevention exhibition in the UK. The IPS exhibition hall is dedicated to infection prevention, showcasing innovative products and services from about 100 companies. Attendees enjoy exclusive exhibition hours each day to learn about new science, technologies, advances, and products that provide solutions to infection prevention challenges and strengthen infection prevention programs.

IPS provides exclusive Exhibition Hall hours offering uninterrupted networking time. Workshops and educational sessions are not scheduled during these times, thereby eliminating any competition to the Exhibition Hall. Collect quality leads from dedicated infection prevention and control professionals who are passionate about learning and improving their facilities with your products. IPS provides complimentary refreshments and lunch in the hall for attendees, so they don’t have to leave the convention center. This allows them to maximise their time spent with exhibitors.

The IPS annual conference is the largest infection prevention and control exhibition in the UK and it is expected to attract over 1000 professionals in this field. If you would like to attend the exhibition to view the exhibits this is free* of charge. *Please note this does not include any session attendance or catering
