Association of Healthcare Cleaning Professionals
Annual Conference & Exhibition 2009
Crowne Plaza, Glasgow, 3-5 June 2009
OUR FUTURE IS NOW Dear Colleagues, Bringing together chief executives, healthcare cleaning directors, managers, supervisors, distributors, manufacturers and suppliers from across the UK, the AHCP Conference & Exhibition has established itself as a key forum for exchanging knowledge and driving forward best practice and technology within the healthcare cleaning profession. The focus is on all aspects of cleanliness and the management of healthcare associated infections within the patient environment, providing the back drop for this conference. Over 250 attendees enjoyed a successful event when AHCP 2008 was staged in Harrogate in June this year. A full and relevant conference agenda, high-level speakers, busy exhibition and excellent social networking opportunities all resulted in such positive feedback that AHCP 2009 is set to be an even bigger and better event, not to be missed. Building on the success of the 2008 event, AHCP 2009 will feature a larger exhibition of products, services and innovative technology. An upgraded conference format providing topical and practical conference sessions including new technologies and debates on sustainability within the cleanliness industry, will give all attendees plenty of opportunities to interact with speakers, professional colleagues, suppliers and customers. As usual, there will also be a busy social networking programme, including two evenings; an informal dinner followed by entertainment and a formal night where the theme will be most definitely Scottish! An international perspective will flavour topics of discussion at the event as we embrace the future of hospital and healthcare cleaning and the management of the patient environment. Themes and detailed topics for 2009 are under development, so please look out for more details over the coming months. The conference agenda reflects the Association’s continued commitment to drive forward further development within cleaning services to improve the healthcare patient environment. Current Association initiatives with government bodies include the following work streams;
This clear integrated commitment supports members and Trust Boards alike as they realise that there has never been a better time to focus on hospital cleanliness. Encouraged by public attention and supported by Governmental ‘fast track’ approval initiatives, current good practice includes a raft of new technologies and working methods, and many private sector manufacturers and contractors are developing new cleaning technologies to help in the fight against HCAIs. We look forward to seeing you in Glasgow for this high level productive event coming as it does at this critical time for cleaning, hygiene and the patient environment. Kind regards
