Lakeside Conference Centre (LCC), which sits on the York Biotech Campus, hosted the York and Scarborough Teaching Hospitals NHS foundation trust’s recent annual infection prevention and control (IPC) conference.
One hundred and sixty delegates attended the LCC for a ‘back to basics’ conference. Delegates ranged from registered nurses, health care support workers, and allied health professionals to colleagues in health and safety and estates and facilities.
Liz Cashon, innovation campus manager at York Biotech Campus, said: “When the York and Scarborough Teaching Hospitals NHS foundation trust came to LCC looking for somewhere to host its IPC conference, we knew we were the ideal venue to foster a productive environment.”
Cashon added: “We’re proud that our campus not only facilitates scientific discovery, innovation and application in the region through our businesses onsite but can provide outside organisations and bodies with an appropriate space to learn and develop as well.”
Sue Peckitt, deputy director for IPC at the trust added: “The location was what first attracted us to LCC, as the trust is spread across York, north and east Yorkshire and Ryedale, an area which covers 3,400 square miles. This meant it was of the utmost importance that our conference was accessible to our colleagues from across all of our localities.”
