Event Description:
This is the inaugural meeting of the Vascular Access Special Interest Group (VASIG). We warmly welcome infection prevention and control professionals, nurses, physicians, epidemiologists, and other professionals involved in vascular access or infusion therapy who are committed to improving infection prevention and best-practice device insertion and care across Australasia.
The VASIG will provide an open, collaborative space for you to connect, share experiences, and discuss current challenges in vascular access practice. You will have the opportunity to collaborate on research and education initiatives, contribute to the development of evidence-based policy and guidelines, and support safe and effective vascular access across clinical settings. We invite you to join us and help shape the direction and priorities of this new SIG.
