So, I have a bit of news...I have been awarded the @hisinfection.bsky.social Early Career Award. A massive honour and privilege! www.his.org.uk/news/dr-jon-...

Interested to see this @hisinfection.bsky.social report on the silent pandemic and the role of the built environment www.his.org.uk/news/the-sil...

A clear theme this afternoon at #HISCON25: Competence development is key to solving challenges in the healthcare built environment.

Talks from Mike Weinbren, Nigel Keery OBE, and the NHP team (Alpa Patel & Rahul Chodhari) stressed that people—not just infrastructure—drive safer, resilient hospitals

How can hospital design fight AMR? At #HISCON25, Tim Ho & @ManjulaMeda shared how water-free ICU care tackles hidden risks in hospitals - more than a facilities fix, it’s a culture shift.

Learn more about this at our joint webinar with Architects for Health on 1 July: lnkd.in/e4nCkVe

Great start to #HISCON25 with Dame Judith Hackitt on systems thinking in complex organisations. From Grenfell to the NHS, she urged a shift from box-ticking to culture change, resilience, and collaboration. A powerful call for proactive safety and accountability.

Set up complete - ready to welcome everyone to #HISCON25

Fasinating to attend the @msf.ca Scientific Day in London to learn about infection prevention and control in some of the most challenging healthcare settings around the world, and how research can be impactfully operationalised in these contexts.
