Healthcare Webinars

This webinar will discuss the importance of surveillance as an infection prevention and control practice in neonatal care. The webinar will be an opportunity to present the newly-developed NeoIPC surveillance toolkit, and to hear from experts with longstanding experience in surveillance and hospital-acquired infections. Speakers include: Aikaterini Mougkou, Expert in Antimicrobial Resistance and Healthcare-Associated Infections, European Centre for Disease Prevention and Control (ECDC) Begoña Loureiro, Cruces University Hospital; IIS Biocruces Bizkaia, Bilbao, Spain Brar Piening, Senior Physician, Institute of Hygiene and Environmental Medicine, Charité – Universitätsmedizin Berlin, Germany Christina Obiero, Researcher, KEMRI – Wellcome Trust Research Programme, Kilifi, Kenya.

To successfully treat tuberculosis it is an absolute necessity that the antimicrobial agents used reaches the site of infection in sufficient amounts. This webinar will discuss the link between drug doses and treatment outcome, the main pharmacokinetic processes, site-of-disease pharmacokinetics in pulmonary TB, combination treatment and drug-drug interactions, and the population approach using mathematical models. The target audience includes healthcare professionals, decision makers, policy makers, researchers, and the TB community.

Sexually transmitted infections (STIs) are particularly concerned about AMR because of the widespread resistance to most medicines used to treat Neisseria gonorrhoeae in many parts of the world. Other STI pathogens with potential AMR include Mycoplasma genitalium and Trichomonas vaginalis. The department of Global HIV, Hepatitis and STIs Programmes at WHO will participate in the global annual awareness campaign to raise global awareness and understanding on AMR, an important example of One Health collaboration. This year, the departments of AMR and HIV/STIs will organize a joint webinar to launch and discuss 2 WHO Technical products, that are under the Enhanced Gonococcal AMR Surveillance Programme (EGASP) umbrella. It will also be a great opportunity to bring experts, country experience, surveillance data, diagnostics and therapeutics interventions in the pipeline together in one webinar.

This live webinar will be a forum to discuss how we can move forward in ensuring pharmaceutical companies manufacture responsibly to limit the risk of AMR. The live webinar builds on examples from a new report published by the Access to Medicine Foundation in August 2023 that sets out the clear steps pharmaceutical companies can take to limit AMR risk by manufacturing responsibly. The webinar will touch upon the major changes needed to improve the landscape, as well as the roles that different stakeholders have to play, including companies, regulators, procurers and investors.

Discover an informative webinar delving into commercial manufacturing in messenger RNA (mRNA) clinical therapies, new capacity installations and unique partnering models in commercial manufacturing. mRNA and cell/gene therapies represent cutting-edge approaches in the realm of biomedicine, with a focus on innovative disease targeting and treatment. These fields are rapidly evolving, characterized by intricate landscapes, and share common challenges that demand inventive solutions for their development, scaling and eventual commercialization.In this webinar, the featured speaker will discuss new capacity installations and unique partnering models and provide key updates on their progress toward commercial manufacturing of plasmid DNA (pDNA), mRNA, lipid nanoparticle (LNP) and fill/finish.

This webinar will focus on giving survivors a voice in the awareness and advocacy for antimicrobial resistance. Join us to hear inspiring stories and learn how we can work together to combat this global health threat.

The latest advancements in prophy cups, hand instruments, and handpieces help elevate the standard of care in dental hygiene. This webinar offers a comprehensive exploration of these essential tools, focusing on their evolution, new market innovations, and benefits. The benefits include superior biofilm removal, enhanced infection control, and better ergonomics. Leveraging these technologies effectively in daily practice helps with the biggest goal of all: improving patient care.

Learn why controlling your blood sugar is important, how this class can help, and have the opportunity to ask questions.

Discover a groundbreaking webinar delving into multifaceted strategies aimed at enhancing diversity within the realm of Alzheimer’s disease (AD) research. Addressing significant challenges rooted in the widespread lack of trust within diverse patient populations, the featured speakers forge collaborative efforts with advocacy groups, who serve as crucial bridges between the healthcare system and the communities they serve. Going beyond conventional screening practices, these strategies also involve extensive examination of medical records and employ a diverse array of tactics to identify potential patients who might otherwise go unnoticed. Innovation plays a pivotal role in not only tracking and reporting progress but also in educating these underrepresented patient populations. This webinar involves the open exchange of ideas, acknowledging that the path to solutions is neither instantaneous nor linear. Ultimately, this comprehensive approach encapsulates the principles of diversity, equity and inclusion (DE&I), serving as a model for advancing equitable access to Alzheimer’s research.
