• THE EFFECT OF THE CLIMATE ON HEALTHCARE INFECTION

      Date: June 20th, 2024

      Time: 9:30 am PST

      Speaker: Martin Kiernan, University of West London

      Objectives:

      – Understand the relationship between climate change and healthcare-associated infections and discuss how climate change can impact the prevalence and distribution of pathogens that cause healthcare-associated infections, such as antibiotic-resistant bacteria
      – Identify populations and geographic regions that are particularly susceptible to climate-driven changes in healthcare-associated infection risks, including patients, healthcare workers, and communities
      – Discuss the broader public health implications of climate-related healthcare-associated infections, including the potential for increased disease burden
      – Discuss climate-adaptive healthcare practices, including practical measures that can be implemented to adapt to the changing climate and reduce the risk of healthcare-associated infections
