“Total Water Management Within Healthcare Premises – Don’t let the Risks Slip Through Your Hands”
Locations & Dates :
Leeds 8th September 2010
Birmingham 4th November 2010
London 10th November 2010
The control of the complete water life-cycle in the Healthcare Estates is always a topical and complex balancing act. We have to balance often antagonistic issues such as flushing water systems against wastage; and high water temperatures to control waterborne pathogens against the risk of scalding patients and others. In this seminar, with the assistance of leading experts in the field, we explore water hygiene issues such as legionellosis and hydrotherapy pool hygiene; competing and antagonistic risks such as scalding and environmental impact and various other water management and impact reduction issues.
The seminar takes a balanced view of recent developments and best practice approaches to help you balance the risks in a justified fashion.
