This year marks the 25th anniversary of International Infection Prevention Week (IIPW), to be observed Oct. 16-22, 2011. As you may have seen from this morning's news posting, the Association for Professionals in Infection Control and Epidemiology (APIC) announced the theme for this year's event, "infection prevention is everyone’s business," underscoring the goal of communicationa nd collaboration between infection prevention and all departments of the hospital or other healthcare facility.

For the very first time, we are hosting an online event in conjunction with our ICTalk online forum, to further celebrate the successes of infection preventionists everywhere. Three days of lunchtime activities include an "Ask the Expert" session with infection prevention consultant Phenelle Segal, and much more.
