CSC Annual Scientific Conference
with industry and government to address challenges surrounding the development and designation of medical devices standards. Lena has a particular interest in terminology and why words matter, and how individual and varying interpretation can lead to misuse and, potentially, patient harm. Former Chair of the CSC, Val O’Brien will
then introduce “The all-new compendium of Principles of Decontamination”. This replaces the Microbiology Advisory Committee manual and has taken Val and the team a considerable amount of time to write – we are very grateful to the team involved and look forward to hosting the new manual on the CSC website. We all know the importance of training and education and no more so than Jincy Jerry who will present on “Probe decontamination: the importance of training and education”. Jincy is the Assistant Director of Nursing in Infection Prevention and Control (IPC) at the Mater University Hospital, Dublin, Ireland. To finish off the education and training session, we will hear from two speakers. Paul Kaye, who has been developing tools for digitising the audit process for decontamination, will present on “Innovations in digital auditing”. Samantha Murray will share an “Introduction of the decontamination experience to the unsuspecting clinician”. Sam will discuss how she used her successful grant application from the CSC Hurrell-Simpson Award to further her career in decontamination. (You can submit applications via:
centralsterilisingclub.org/csc- hurrell-simpson-award/). And, of course, “If you always do what you
always did, you will always get what you always got”, so following the tea break you really are in for a surprise. We have arranged for the last session of the conference to be our infamous debate; you are in for a treat and you will most certainly want to hear this. In the Great Debate: “This house believes that passionate idealism for sustainable decontamination threatens patient safety”, Mike Simmons will speak for the motion and Mahmood Bhutta will speak against the motion, while you, our delegates, will decide the victor. Mike is a Consultant in Public Health
Microbiology from Wales, a CSC committee member with an interest in sustainability and thinking outside the box. Mahmood is the inaugural Chair in ENT Surgery and Professor of Sustainable Healthcare at Brighton and Sussex Medical School, with a longstanding interest in environmental and labour rights harms caused by medical supply chains. The CSC committee have organised some fantastic conferences over the last three years, and we hope that, with your input, the 2024
