Milestones in Infection Prevention and Control

On June 10-11, 2024, the HARTMANN SCIENCE CENTER (HSC) will continue its lecture series “Safety first – Rethinking infection prevention”.

This time, the symposium with the title “Milestones in Infection Prevention and Control” will be held as a hybrid event. You can join the event either online or live in Hamburg.

Our symposium is aimed at infection prevention specialists (IPC), IPC nurses, quality assurance staff, nursing and theatre managers as well as those interested in disinfection and infection prevention and control measures.

We are particularly looking forward to the joint exchange in connection with the scientific symposium and the 100th anniversary of BODE Chemie GmbH, a HARTMANN GROUP company, in 2024.

We look forward to welcoming you to the HSC Symposium 2024.

Kind regards,
