Hi @Stefan Johansson, @Valentina Canepa manages the NeoIPC communications, so she's the person to coordinate the announcement with. I think, many of us still need to warm up and find out what's possible before we can really tell what our plans here are but in my opinion this is not a prerequisite for an announcement of our collaboration. In any case, it sounds as if @Chiara Minotti may have further plans that I don't know about.

Dear all, thanks to @Tuuli Metsvaht's introduction in today's NeoIPC Surveillance webinar I have just learnt that this space already exists. Thanks also to @Stefan Johansson, @piatkat, @Annika, @Valentina Canepa and @Chiara Minotti for making this happen! I hope that this will be a nice space where we can exchange ideas and experience regarding infection prevention and control in neonatology I'm happy to contribute my experience regarding surveillance here and hope for support and feedback regarding the NeoIPC Surveillance Toolkit. If you have any questions in that regard, please go ahead and ask. Best wishes, Brar

How is the state of infection prevention and control in your NICU? Do you have all the data you need to continuously have an eye on the trends of hospital-acquired infection rates and antibiotic consumtion? Do you have a reliable external bechmark to compare these numbers against? If yes, you are probably part of a successful surveillance network and probably want to find out what is going on elsewhere 😉. If no, you maybe want to start performing surveillance of nosocomial infection and maybe even become part of a bigger surveilance network. In any case, you may want to join the Webinar on surveillance of hospital-acquired infections in the NICU that is hosted by the NeoIPC Clinical Practice Network and will happen tommorow 23rd of November at 16:00 CET.
