Infection prevention colleagues: @kalisvar.bsky.social and I are presenting the ‘year in infection control’ at #ESCMIDGlobal next month. We’d love to hear this community’s picks. What were the most innovative papers in this field in the last year? What papers changed your practice? #IDSky

Thanks for sharing this discussion. We usually only hear about the ‘wins’, learning from your experiences around recruitment is really helpful.

Probably the saddest episode we've put out as @1healthau.bsky.social @plr-aus.bsky.social and Kate Browne discuss the failure to get the Intermittent self-catheterisation study over the line. The disappointment is palpable. infectioncontrolmatters.com/latest/ #IDSky
