Bring yourself up-to-date in infection prevention - the first MEDICA ACADEMY offers the latest expertise and practical tips on implementation for hospital and practice scenarios.

Imaging, hygiene, surgical procedures, preventing overcharging for care, insufficient or unnecessary care or procedures in GP practices and medical innovations - these are just a few of the topics that MEDICA ACADEMY will focus on. This interdisciplinary further education event will have its premiere as part of the MEDICA program this year. It will offer doctors from all specialties the opportunity for further training during its four-day run – from November 13 – 16, 2017, at the Congress Center Düsseldorf (CCD South). MEDICA is the world’s leading medical trade fair, held annually at the fairgrounds in Düsseldorf, Germany.



The global spread of infection and increase in resistances, particularly multiple resistances, requires that the cooperation between outpatient and inpatient sectors must be improved, along with cooperation between care takers and doctors from all specialties to give an example. The aim is to translate current knowledge from prevention strategies into adequate hygiene measures and guideline-compliant therapies and put them into practice.

“Update your infection prevention measures” is a whole day event which is simultaneously interpreted into English. This event focuses on four central topics in infectiology and hygiene, with each topic being presented by two expert speakers in a concise, practice-oriented manner. On November 16, 2017, from 9:00 am to 4:40 pm, the program centers around the main focus topics of practical hygiene, frequent outpatient and nosocomial infections, infection prevention and antibiotic stewardship in practices and clinics as well as the use of psychological communication strategies to implement infection prevention. An application for CME certification from the North Rhine Medical Association has been submitted.

The seminar, which was developed in cooperation with LADR, the Laboratory Group of Dr. Kramer & co. GbR, is led by Dr Wolfgang Hell MD, from Geesthacht, Prof. Dr Mariam Klouche MD, from Bremen and PD Dr Roland Schulze-Röbbecke MD, from Aachen. These three leaders’ main priority is to promote targeted discussion within and across specialties with expert speakers and the audience so that experiences and practical questions from the participants are actively included in this event. “We intend to use practical, real-life examples, presented by experienced Infectiologists, doctors who specialize in hospital hygiene and hygiene experts and integrate modern communication psychology techniques to share current knowledge and show the tools that allow us to implement this in practice”, said Prof. Dr Mariam Klouche MD. “The aim is to improve infection prevention and the prevention of infectious disease in outpatient and inpatient care,” explained the Consultant for Clinical Pathology, Microbiology, Infectious Disease Epidemiology and Transfusion Medicine.
