Pall Medical - Filtration Solutions For Medical Applications

An Educational Webinar Series Delivered with the Royal Society for Public Health (RSPH)

Healthcare water systems play a critical role in patient safety - yet they can also act as reservoirs and transmission routes for waterborne microorganisms. Managing these risks requires more than microbiological knowledge alone; it demands an integrated understanding of systems, design, and day-to-day operation. This educational webinar series, delivered in partnership with the Royal Society for Public Health (RSPH), explores contamination control in healthcare water systems- from foundational microbiology to practical, system‑level considerations at the point of use.

Why focus on healthcare water systems now?

Awareness of water - related contamination risk in healthcare is evolving. Recent experience has shown that:

Water systems are complex, interconnected environments where risk can persist unseen.
Effective risk management requires collaboration across infection prevention, microbiology, estates, facilities, and healthcare design.

Water systems are complex, interconnected environments where risk can persist unseen.

Back to Basics: Waterborne Pathogens in Healthcare

Webinar 1

Wednesday, 24 June 2026 | 1:00–2:00 PM | Online
This session introduces the fundamental microbiology of waterborne pathogens in healthcare environments.

You will learn:

How microorganisms survive and persist in healthcare water systems
The role of biofilms in pipes, taps, and drainage
Why water requires a distinct contamination‑control perspective

Pipes and Taps: Building Water System Design and the Last Few Metres

Webinar 2

Wednesday, 9 September 2026 | 1:00–2:00 PM | Online
Building on the microbiological foundations of the first session, this webinar focuses on the built environment and the practical realities of water system design.

You will learn:

Why the periphery of the water system is a critical risk interface
How design, commissioning, and refurbishment decisions influence contamination risk
Where operational practices intersect with system design
