The EUCIC continues to look forward to new IPC advancements.

Upcoming event

The upcoming trainee programme is an exciting two-year learning journey, covering a diverse range of Infection Prevention and Control (IPC) and Healthcare-Associated Infection (HAI) topics. Join the programme to further your professional skills and shape the next generation of IPC standards across Europe.

About

In an era defined by the global spread of Infectious Diseases (IDs), marked by the COVID-19 pandemic and the escalating threat of multidrug-resistant organisms, the necessity for intensified commitment to Infection Prevention and Control (IPC) is critical. Among these challenges are the limited training opportunities and IPC qualifications. However, within Europe’s diverse approaches to tackling IPC lies expertise, rooted in local epidemiology and healthcare system organisation, offering the potential to make a significant impact. This is why, building upon these differing perspectives and approaches, the EUCIC hosts a tailored educational programme designed to shape the next wave of IPC experts who are equipped to confront the evolving challenges of ID and antimicrobial resistance (AMR).

Deadlines

The deadline for the EUCIC Certificate Programme is 10 May 2024.
