Oxoid reminds you that entry for 2007/2008 Oxoid Infection Control Team of the Year Awards, with a first prize of £5,000, and 2nd and 3rd prizes of £1,000 and £500 respectively, must be received by 15 February 2008.
The Awards are simple to enter â a summary of activity in 1,800 to 2,500 words is all that is required â and entries are welcome from infection control teams in all countries around the world.
Initiated by Oxoid in 2003, the Awards recognize and reward the dedicated teams of infection control microbiologists, infection control nurses and doctors who, each day, strive to prevent or reduce rates of hospital-acquired infections and improve infection control procedures, making our hospitals safer places for patients, staff and visitors alike.
The Awards are judged by a panel drawn from the International Association of Infection Control, the Hospital Infection Society, the Infection Prevention Society (previously known as the Infection Control Nurses Association) together with renowned infection control professionals and representatives from Oxoid.
