IPAC Canada invites you to immerse yourself in the ruggedbeauty of the Rocky Mountains in Banff, Alberta. This is an idealplace to embark on paths of discovery surrounded byspectacular scenery, towering peaks and alpine lakes. Theconference will be held in the Banff Centre for Arts and Creativity.Nestled in the heart of a UNESCO world heritage site andCanada’s first national park, the Centre’s goal is to provide anatmosphere that inspires creativity and innovation. All InfectionPrevention and Control Professionals (ICPs) and healthcareproviders are invited to set up base camp and prepare for ajourney that will have us traversing established pathways,belaying with our colleagues and navigating through crevasseson a stimulating journey that will lead us to the summit.
Every adventure starts with an idea or dream that is nurturedand reworked until it becomes reality. “All mountain landscapeshold stories: the ones we read, the ones we dream, and theones we create” (Editor’s Note, The Alpinist, April 1, 2010). Theconference will bring both expert and novice ICPs, dynamicspeakers and influential stakeholders together throughnetworking, sharing of expertise, and the desire to pursueknowledge to forge ahead and realize our aspirations ininfection prevention and control.
As on any journey or adventure ICPs encounter challengesand obstacles in practice that can be daunting, frustratingand sometimes overwhelming. Our keynote speaker willexplore such experiences and provide inspiring perspectivesthat will help us to embrace and overcome such challengesand obstacles, helping us to achieve our professional goals and dreams.
Before starting our official journey, prepareto check your equipment and supplies byattending the preconference day which willoffer three exciting learning pathways:explore the slippery slopes of disinfection,discover expeditions in construction, andaddress the challenges of infectionprevention and control in Aboriginal health.These sessions are primed to look atexisting and future trends. The climb to thesummit begins when we transition into thefull conference program: explore infectioncontrol in operating and procedure rooms,continuing care, care in the community,and prehospital service. Discuss how to
manage those complex problems we all encounter from time totime in our practice. Make sure to pick up tips for teaching andcommunicating key messages or engaging physicians throughthe use of simulation.
While adventures in infection prevention and control areexciting, the going can get tough, and we can feel weary ordiscouraged. Sometimes we need to stop, take in the viewand have a bit of nourishment. Discover opportunities duringthe conference to reflect, rejuvenate, and reengage with yourgoals and aspirations. As Sir Edmund Hillary said, “It’s not themountain we conquer, but ourselves”. It is not always thegrand adventures that transform. A nugget of wisdom, a bitof information, or a new contact can start an avalanche thathas a resounding impact.
Objectives for the 2018 conference are to:
1. Inspire the discovery of new ideas and innovations toadvance and transform knowledge into infection preventionand control practice. Imagine how embarking on newadventures and journeys will turn into realities.
2. Challenge our knowledge and understanding of existingpractices as we climb to new heights, continuing to buildand refine our skills along with practices as we explore thecomplex challenges and issues across the varioushealthcare sectors
3. Strengthen foundations that provide us with core knowledgeand skills that are used on a daily basis. Whether treading onfamiliar ground, or navigating new paths, we need to always
be prepared, paying attention to ourselves as health providers, making sure our resources arecurrent and reflect best practices, so weare prepared for the unexpected.
4. Provide opportunities to network, sharestories and build collaborations throughexperience, lessons learned, andsuccesses realized.
5. Promote awareness of new approaches,new technologies, products, resourcesand tools that can assist us in ourprofessional endeavours.
6. Showcase IPAC Canada’s commitmentto serve as a pre-eminent source ofinfection prevention and control expertisein Canada.

CLOSING SESSION
Dr. Patch Adams
The Joy of Caring
Wednesday, May 3011:00 am – 1:00 pm
“I interpret my experience in
life as being happy. I want, as
a doctor, to say it does
matter to your health to be
happy. It may be the most
important health factor in
your life.”
Patch Adams M.D. is an
internationally known speaker
on wellness, humor, and joy.
He approaches the issues of personal,community, and global
health with “zestful exuberance,” according to Time Magazine.
Dr. Adams believes that “the most revolutionary act one can
commit in our world is to be happy.” “Extraordinary! A man I
can look up to and respect,” “Incredibly mind blowing and
memorable,” and “Inspiring, amazing human being –
invaluable to hear firsthand,” are all testimonies of people who
have had the chance to hear Dr. Patch Adams, the real man
behind the hit Hollywood film Patch Adams.
Patch is a medical doctor, a clown, and a social activist who
has devoted 30 years to changing America’s healthcare
system. He believes that laughter, joy and creativity are integral
parts of the healing process. Doctors and patients in his model
relate to each other on the basis of mutual trust, and patients
receive plenty of time from their doctors. Allopathic doctors and
practitioners of alternative medicine work side by side in Patch’s
model. If you think that all sounds like a utopian impossibility, it
isn’t! Patch and his colleagues have practiced medicine at the
Gesundheit Institute together in West Virginia that way for 43
years in what Patch refers to as their “pilot project.” Through the
success of this program at the West Virginia location, a model
healthcare facility is being planned on 310 acres purchased in
Pocahontas County, WV. The Institute will include a 40-bed
hospital, a theater, arts and crafts shops, horticulture and
vocational therapy. Over five years ago, Dr. Adams temporarily
stopped seeing patients so that he could coordinate plans for
raising the $5 million needed for the Institute's permanent and
expanded home, a “model health care community.” By bringing
Patch Adams to speak, we are supporting this dream!www.patchadamsspeaks.com

This session is designed specifically for industryrepresentatives. Light brunch provided.
Jason MacDonald, B.Sc, B.EH(AD), CPHI(C), EnvironmentalPublic Health Advisor Health Protection Branch, Public Healthand Compliance, Edmonton, Alberta
The objective of this session will be to discuss two emergingand uniquely environmental health opportunities that standbefore infection prevention and control stakeholders.
® The first is the opportunity that exists to increase thecapacity of workers in non-hospital and non-clinicalsettings such as esthetic salons, daycares and othercommunity settings.
® The second is the challenge that lies ahead inexpressing to the public their role in preventing thecreation of antibiotic resistant organisms in theirhouseholds and built environments. Obviously, whendone appropriately, cleaning and disinfection canprevent the spread of infections. When done incorrectly,evidence is showing us that we create antimicrobialresistant organisms and contribute to this increasinglyserious issue. What role can non-government infectionprevention and control stakeholders play in offeringeffective science communication to Canadians?

STREAM BClear Stream Ahead – Long Term Care
Jill Richmond BA BN RN, Public Health Ontario, Guelph, Ontario
Antimicrobial agents are overprescribed in long-term carehomes (LTCH), which contributes to adverse outcomes such asClostridium difficile infections and antimicrobial resistance. Keyfactors in this overuse are the over culturing of urine andprescribing of antimicrobials for asymptomatic bacteriuria(ASB), which is often mistaken for a urinary tract infection. Toaddress these issues, Public Health Ontario (PHO) created theUrinary Tract Infection (UTI) Program. This program emphasizesfive core practice changes for the assessment andmanagement of UTIs in non-catheterized residents in LTCHs.Changing practice is difficult and complex; education and toolsalone may not lead to sustainable changes. The UTI Programhas been designed to assess barriers to change and adoptappropriate strategies directed at the individual andorganizational level to support the required practice changes.
At this interactive session, participants will:
® Learn about the unique methodology that PHO used inthe creation of the UTI Program
® Hear about the key strategies required to support theimplementation of the UTI Program
® Find out about the recently released UTI programevaluation results
® Explore how the UTI program can be used to make animpact in your facility or region
