On 17th May 2023, at the stunning location of Macdonald Bath Spa Hotel, we were very excited to have a visiting speaker join our event, Birgitt Rimell - Clinical Nurse Specialist, Infection Prevention at H&R Healthcare Ltd. Birgitt Rimell discussed the importance of reducing infection risks in veterinary surgeries. Because of growing concerns worldwide about AMR, the importance of Infection Prevention was the main topic during Birgitt's presentations, helping to create awareness and offer solutions to both Veterinary and Human Clinical Practitioners.
