This year’s Federation of Infection Societies (FIS) Conference will be held from 13 – 15 November at Sage Gateshead, Newcastle, UK. The meeting will bring together researchers and clinicians for a packed programme of talks on all aspects of infection prevention and control.
The key themes of the Conference will cover Immunocompromised host which includes the High Risk BMT patient, antibiotics as well as general infection dilemmas. This is a great opportunity to share and discuss the latest research and developments in this rapidly expanding and changing field, and learn about the most important issues facing modern infection practice today.
