ECCMID Shorts 2023: Making research more equitable
Join Gemma Winzor (Editor in Chief, Infection Prevention in Practice) live from Copenhagen, Denmark, for the 33rd European Congress of Clinical Microbiology & Infectious Diseases (ECCMID 2023), 15-18 April 2023. In this short, Prof. Jasmine R Marcelin (Infectious Diseases Physician and Associate Professor of Infectious Diseases at the University of Nebraska Medical Centre, USA) discusses bridging gaps in research equity, the importance of being intentional about including individuals from different backgrounds in all stages of research, how demographic intersectionality impacts how we approach our research and patients, and the myth of meritocracy.Episode linksWorks by Jasmine Marcelin•Marcelin J et al Demographic Representation Among Speakers and Program Committee Members at the IDWeek Conference, 2013-2021 Clin Infect Dis. 2023;76(5)•Marcelin J et al Supporting Inclusion, Diversity, Access, and Equity in the Infectious Disease Workforce.

Live episode! Infection control and environmental challenges
Join Gemma Winzor (Editor in Chief, Infection Prevention in Practice) and Nik Mahida (Editor in Chief, Journal of Hospital Infection) live from FIS/HIS International 2022, as they talk with guests about how environmental factors impact infection control practice. Christine Peters (Queen Elizabeth University Hospital, Glasgow) discusses two cases of Mycobacterium chelonae infection in haemato-oncology patients, using whole-genome sequencing and a potential link to the hospital water supply. Katie Prescott (Nottingham University Hospitals NHS Trust) outlines an outbreak of New Delhi Metallo-Beta-lactamase Carbapenemase Producing Enterobaterales on a bone marrow transplant unit, and the role of environment in the outbreaks. Peter Kinnevey (Trinity College Dublin) discusses MRSA and MSSA among healthcare workers, patients and the environment, and answers questions about healthcare working testing.

Role of the Healthcare Scientist in IPC
Elaine Cloutman Green (Consultant Clinical Scientist and Infection Control Doctor at Great Ormond Street Hospital for Children NHS Foundation Trust) discuss the role of the healthcare scientist in the IPC team.Elaine also shares how she forged a successful healthcare career from a start in zoology, how to make people aware of the opportunities available for careers in science, and how to learn from our failure.The importance of public outreach as part of our communication as IPC professionals is also discussed. Elaine shares stories from The Nosocomial Project, which was supported by a HIS Public Outreach grant to produce Nosocomial, a play, and now showcases other creative ways to communicate about infectious disease – including Klebsiella the Drag Queen.Elaine has been the recipient of a Healthcare Infection Society Small Research Grant, a Mike Emmerson Early Career Award and a HIS Public Engagement Grant.
