Live Debate - Water-less Healthcare: Solution or Risk?

 

The Healthcare Infection Society invites you to join a live debate exploring the future of water use in healthcare environments.

Growing awareness around the infection risks associated with healthcare water systems has sparked increasing discussion about “water-less” design. Advocates highlight potential benefits for infection prevention, sustainability, and cost efficiency, while others raise important concerns around practicality, unintended consequences, and whether optimised water management may offer a safer and more realistic solution.

This timely debate will bring together expert speakers from across clinical practice, research, and the built environment to present differing perspectives on this complex issue. Join us to hear from leading voices in the field, share your own views and opportunities to ask questions on this challenging topic in healthcare design and infection prevention.
