£6500 in prizes to spend on team building events, training, or travel expenses to conferences and seminars to extend infection control knowledge for the winning teams in the 2005/2006 Oxoid Awards
The Oxoid infection control team of the year awards are designed to recognise and reward those who are making a real difference to improved standards of infection control within hospitals worldwide.
The 2005/2006 Awards are now open for entry.
With a £5000 first prize, and second and third prizes of £1000 and £500, the winning teams will be able to spend their prize money on team building events, training, or travel expenses to conferences and seminars to extend their infection control knowledge and ultimately provide better care for hospital patients.
The closing date for entries to the 2005/2006 Awards is 31 January 2006, but the Oxoid suggests not leaving it until the last minute - it is easy to enter as there are no forms to complete.
To enter just provide a summary (in less than 2000 words) describing the infection control challenges faced in your hospital and how team members respond to these challenges; detail the results of your work (results are particularly important to the judges!) and how this has made a difference to the patients and the hospital.
Entry guidelines and details of previous winners can be downloaded from Oxoid's website.
