Preventing healthcare workers from sharp injuries –
a state of play in Belgium - 29/04/2020
beMedTech, the Belgian federation of the medical technology industry, organized a survey on sharp injuries among more than 950 nurses and lab technicians. At this symposium, we will present the results of this survey. These results will serve as the basis for a fascinating program on the theme. We provide an overview of the current status in Belgium and look at how neighboring countries approach the issue. Finally, we will formulate recommendations on how to improve prevention and safety.
We would like to invite you to join us on April 29th (1.30pm – 5pm). An invitation with the full program will follow soon.
