Organised by the ISAC Early Career Working Group
Join us at the ICC 2024 Early Career Scientist Workshop, an exciting and integral part of our conference, designed specifically to highlight and foster the growth of new talent in the field of antimicrobial chemotherapy. This year, we are thrilled to feature presentations from the ISAC/ICC awardees, representing a diverse range of countries and research backgrounds. These early career scientists have been recognised for their exceptional contributions and will share their innovative research findings with the global community. The workshop not only offers a unique opportunity for these emerging researchers to gain visibility but also provides a platform for all attendees to engage with cutting-edge science, discuss novel ideas, and build collaborative networks.
Organised in collaboration with Elsevier
In this session hosted by Elsevier and the ISAC journal Editors (Journal of Global Antimicrobial Resistance and International Journal of Antimicrobial Agents) you will learn about the journals’ publishing system from the author’s perspective. This will include a detailed breakdown of the steps from submission to publication as well as how best to respond to peer reviewer comments. Publishing a paper can often be a daunting experience, especially for junior researchers, and we hope this session equips you with the skills, the tips and tricks, and the confidence you need to disseminate your research in a journal.
Optimal antimicrobial therapy is essential for critically ill patients in the intensive care unit (ICU). This workshop will focus on important issues and strategies to enhance the effectiveness of antimicrobial therapy in critically ill patients. The topics that will be covered include the use of broad-spectrum antimicrobials and antimicrobial de-escalation in the ICU, as well as the value of clinical microbiology to guide decision making in the management of critically ill patients. This session is targeted at healthcare professionals working in intensive care, including clinicians, pharmacists, nurses, as well as researchers interested in improving patient outcomes through better antimicrobial stewardship and strategies.
Organised by the ISAC Infection Prevention & Control Working Group
In general, sustainability and environmental protection are global topics of upmost importance. After the recent COVID-19 pandemic, sustainability in regard to infection prevention and control measures within the healthcare setting finally got the needed attention. Unfortunately, efforts to protect our environment and those to protect our patients seem to clash at times, in part, due to the lack of data or knowledge. This session aims to elude this conflict and give an overview of what is presently known to achieve the best for both goals.
Description of the interactive session
The aim of this interactive session is to cover the basic aspects of antibiotic pharmacokinetics (PK) and pharmacodynamics (PD). Participants will be expected to play an active role in discussions.
Learning Outcomes:
To provide a basic understanding for the pharmacokinetic (PK) and pharmacodynamic (PD) properties of anti-infective drugs.
To introduce in vitro and in vivo modeling as a tool to interpret PK and PD of antimicrobials.
To highlight the importance of using PK/PD to optimize the antimicrobial treatment.
To facilitate the use of therapeutic drug monitoring to optimize antibiotic treatment in patients.
Target Audience
Infectious diseases physicians, pharmacists, intensivists, microbiologists, advanced nurse practitioners in the ICU, and researchers.
Don’t miss this unique opportunity to dive deep into the latest advancements in antimicrobial susceptibility testing guided by EUCAST (European Committee on Antimicrobial Susceptibility Testing) standards.
Why Attend?
✅ Learn cutting-edge techniques to ensure precise antimicrobial therapy
✅ Bridge the gap between laboratory results and clinical decision-making
✅ Master EUCAST guidelines to enhance patient outcomes
✅ Hands-on sessions with expert microbiologists and clinicians
This interactive session is designed for infectious disease specialists, microbiologists, pharmacologists and healthcare professionals eager to stay ahead in the fight against antimicrobial resistance.
Unlock the power to combat antimicrobial resistance with our cutting-edge Interactive Session, “Building an Antimicrobial Stewardship Programme”!
This isn’t just an interactive session—it’s your opportunity to lead the charge in transforming how antibiotics are used in your healthcare setting. Guided by top experts, you’ll gain actionable insights into developing a successful stewardship programme from the ground up. Learn to design strategies that reduce resistance, improve patient outcomes and ensure the responsible use of antimicrobials, all while staying ahead of global healthcare trends.
Elevate your expertise, make a real-world impact and be at the forefront of innovation in antimicrobial stewardship. This is your chance to be a changemaker—don’t miss out!
You are invited to a unique, very easy and transformative learning experience, one that will reshape how you view and address the pressing challenges of today. This smart, interactive session will introduce you to One Health, an innovative interdisciplinary approach that tackles some of the world’s most critical issues.
We will focus specifically on One Health and two major topics: zoonotic diseases and climate change. Traditionally, health improvement efforts have been centered around interventions for humans alone. However, as scientific research has advanced, it has become clear that we can only make lasting progress by addressing the interconnected health of humans, animals, and the environment. This holistic approach is essential if we are to combat challenges such as antimicrobial resistance, climate change, the rise of zoonotic diseases, food safety, and other global health crises.
Have you thought about the true drivers of climate change? Or the vital role the environment plays in the transmission of zoonotic diseases? These crucial issues will be explored in an engaging and dynamic way during “The One Health Workshop”.
To participate fully in this very easy learning experience, please ensure you have your “Gmail account” ready, along with a “QR & barcode scanner app” installed on your smartphone. This journey will not only deepen your understanding of One Health and its key elements but also serve as the foundation for a new chapter in your professional growth. Don’t miss this incredible opportunity—it’s time to embrace a smarter, more comprehensive approach to getting information.
