Dear Colleague

We are delighted to invite you to attend this unique collaborative Decontamination Sciences Congress in London in March 2005 organised by the Institute of Sterile Services Management (ISSM) and the International Federation of Sterile Supply (IFSS) and hosting the annual meeting of the European Forum for Hospital Sterile Supply (EFHSS). The UK has taken significant steps forward in the management of decontamination processes, making it particularly appropriate that this meeting is being held in London. As you can see, the programme content is structured to reflect the many aspects of this rapidly emerging science. Speakers of note have been selected for recognized expertise on their given subject. The topics chosen are of current interest and will enlighten and engender debate.

London offers a wealth of social and cultural attractions which we hope you will be able to enjoy. The event venue is situated in Islington, a fashionable part of town, offering a wide selection of cafés and restaurants.

We look forward to welcoming you to this meeting.
