Medical professionals from around the globe will gather on Providenciales later this year to take part in a conference focusing on Infection Control. The two-day event, organized by InterHealth Canada TCI, will host various experts and leading authorities on the subject from around the globe. Keynote speakers include Professor John Oxford from the Royal London Hospital, and former Global Health Leadership award winner, Dr. Terese Maitland. The conference comes at an ideal time when diseases such as cholera and dengue fever are widespread in the Caribbean. “Infection control is a huge topic right now, and InterHealth Canada is very pleased and proud to be hosting such an important conference here on Provo,” said Susan Borden, InterHealth medical device reprocessing manager. “This is a wonderful opportunity for the TCI and its medical professionals,” Borden said. “Delegates will be attending from all over the region but we are hoping to attract as many as possible from the TCI.” The conference will take place Nov. 18-19 at Brayton Hall and will offer a range of exhibits and workshops, giving delegates the opportunity to share their practices and experiences from around the world. There will also be a full program of evening entertainment at Beaches Resort and Spa. “In terms of infection control events, the program for this one ranks alongside the very best I’ve attended internationally over many years,” said InterHealth Canada’s infection control manager, Alison Pyper. “The TCI is the perfect venue, and it really underlines both InterHealth Canada’s and the country’s determination to be at the very forefront of fighting disease here in the Caribbean. “I would urge all health care professionals in the islands to consider attending because it really does promise to be an outstanding two days,” she said. The conference is being sponsored by a host of organizations including LIME, Masters, American Hospital Supply, Steris and AESCULAP.
