24 June 2026 - RSPH Back to Basics: Waterborne Pathogens in Healthcare

RSPH Back to Basics: Waterborne Pathogens in Healthcare

24 June 2026 | Online

In this webinar, Dr Susanne Surman-Lee will take a back-to-basics approach to waterborne pathogens in healthcare, focusing on who these organisms are, how they survive within water systems, how they are transmitted, and how patients become exposed.

The session will also explore why some waterborne bacteria are difficult to control, how antimicrobial resistance can emerge and persist in these environments, and the implications for patient safety.

This webinar is aimed at infection prevention and control and public health professionals, water treatment providers, estates and facilities teams and healthcare designers seeking a clearer understanding of waterborne infection risks.

This webinar is sponsored with an educational grant from PALL Medical.
