Join us for an insightful and practical webinar focused on one of the key challenges in clinical practice – reducing contamination in blood cultures. Contaminated samples can lead to misdiagnosis, inappropriate antimicrobial use and increased costs, making contamination prevention a vital aspect of patient safety and infection control.
This free, interactive session, sponsored by RDi, brings together expert speakers from microbiology and vascular access to share evidence-based strategies, real-world experiences and innovations that support best practice in blood culture collection.
