Early Career Network: Understanding CPE and AMR

Infection Prevention Society

Check organiser

This online early-career teaching session introduces carbapenemase-producing Enterobacterales and antimicrobial resistance. It is principally an infection prevention learning event rather than a dedicated ambulance skills course, but the concepts can inform risk recognition and handover across the urgent and emergency care pathway. The discussion is relevant to clinicians who encounter patients with known colonisation, isolation requirements or recent healthcare exposure. Delegates should follow their own service’s infection prevention policies, and membership or early-career participation criteria need checking before registration.
