📢 Attention to all professionals working in public health, healthcare, research, policy making, civil society and many other areas that include social and behavioural sciences in the prevention of infectious diseases. This is a call for expressing an interest in #ECDC's Community of Practice for infectious disease prevention and behaviour! This Community of Practice initiative, developed by the European Centre for Disease Prevention and Control (#ECDC) with the support of Verian Group, aims to strengthen capacity for infectious disease outbreak prevention, with a particular focus on the use of social and behavioural sciences. The goal is to support colleagues across the EU/EEA through knowledge sharing, training, peer-to-peer learning, and innovation. https://lnkd.in/dAGj79jM #ECDC #socialandbehavioralsciences #advisorygroup #infectiondiseaseprevention

📚🦠 COVID-19 Guidance for Academic Year 2024-25 As we gear up for the 2024-25 academic year, it's crucial to stay informed and prepared!

For most healthy adults, a COVID infection means a few rough weeks of symptoms and then a return to normal life. But in up to 20-30% of all COVID cases, a few weeks stretches into months or even years. For these long COVID sufferers, symptoms can be frustratingly complex, varied, and debilitating. People who were once serious athletes can’t jog around the block, and executives who led companies can’t remember what they were doing 10 minutes ago. University of Utah Health’s Long COVID Clinic aims to find solutions. Since opening its doors three years ago, the clinic has treated 3,150 patients and studied the condition to find better treatments. Jeanette Brown, MD PhD, who leads the clinic, says much has been learned since the first patients came forward with long COVID symptoms. But, she adds, research continues into what groups are most at risk for long COVID, how to treat it, and the range of symptoms and recovery.

All healthcare systems should be prepared to identify and be able to respond to someone with a presentation that includes these pathogens in their differential diagnosis. Globalization and increasing travel, the importation of high threat pathogens are a possibility and a significant threat if we are not prepared.

Free global panel discussion webinar: preventing infections to fight AMR: are we doing enough? Antimicrobial resistance (AMR) remains a top global public health and development threat. During this seminar, organised by GAMA Healthcare and free to attend, the distinguished panel of experts will discuss how current healthcare cleaning guidelines remain similar to those from 50 years ago. Each will give their view on why we need to review and update the guidelines to bring ‘forward thinking’ to prevent the transmission of key microbes. Facilitated by Professor Brett Mitchell (AM) pictured, editor-in-chief of Infection, Disease & Health, professor of nursing at Avondale University: more: https://lnkd.in/e_ZKSPmy

New resource available! We are excited to share Achieving Integrated, Coordinated Efforts to Address the STI Epidemic: Insights from Local, State, Tribal, National, and Other Key Partners and Lessons Learned from the National Infertility Prevention Project. With the launch of the STI National Strategic Plan (STI Plan), the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention Division of STD Prevention (Division) aims to reverse the dramatic rise in STIs in the United States by creating a roadmap for public health, government, community-based organizations, and other partners to develop, enhance, and expand STI prevention and care programs at the local, state, tribal, and national levels. As the Division implements #STIPlan, it conducted an assessment to reflect on lessons learned through the National Infertility Prevention Project (IPP). This practice paper outlines strategies aligning with the five goals and associated objectives in the STI Plan.
