Testimonials from previous attendees
“Thank you for a fantastic course! Everything was very well organized! The speakers and topics were well selected, there was a good variety and the discussions were very interesting. Also, in general friendly and motivating atmosphere.”

“As a Consultant Nurse I increasingly find it hard to find a course or educational event that really challenges me and informs my current knowledge – IIC does exactly that. I have been attending for the last 10 years. Not only do I always learn so much but the people I meet are so friendly and interesting too.”
Mrs Pauline MacDonald, Independent Consultant Nurse, Infection Matters Ltd
“I love the IIC course, by far the most educational on all other courses I have attended”
Dr Valbona Selimaj Kontoni, Pédiatre Infectiologue. Clinque Saint-Jean, Belgium
“Attending IIC as a trainee was a pivotal moment in my career, inspiring me to train in Paediatric Infectious Diseases. It is one of the best educational meetings, with fantastic speakers and great opportunities for networking. I never dared to imagine that one day I'd be invited as a speaker myself!”
Professor Aubrey Cunnington, Imperial College London
